KC Chiefs ban slur-slinging RB
Guess we'll find out what kind of character Larry Johnson is, now that he's been indefinitely banned by his team.

It takes a real jackass to slur and trash-talk your coach and now they're taking him to task - GOOD FOR THEM!!

Sorry the source if Fox Sports...it's the only place I saw the story.

3. I try not to link to anything Fox related
Just a personal preference of mine. But they were first out with this story, so I give them credit.

2. Guy is a pampered loser, whose only redeeming quality is that he can run with a ball,
Bet after his four arrests and multiple benchings by the team, this was just the last straw.

Another in a line of people that have tons of talent and think the rules of society don't apply to them.

Creepy fucker like to hit women. Real tough guy.

4. It's really hard for me to get upset when I don't know who this POS is, and don't expect much ....
... from pro-athletes anyway. Why anyone thinks a group of men best known for "humble" origins, drinking, drugging, whoring, and brawling are role models in society is beyond me. These men play a game for a living. Why society places such a high value on that is beyond comprehension. Role models would be men who work hard, who start businesses, who make things, who invent things, who use their minds and their hands to produce goods and services which make other people lives better. What exactly do pro-athletes do other than consume?

6. Meanwhile, the coach whose assistant ended up with a broken jaw
won't be pressing charges because the other assistant coaches told the cops that he "fell." Players the NFL throw to the dogs (sorry, Michael), coaches get covered up.
