The Chiefs have suspended Larry Johnson because of his recent comments.
The team announced he is suspended for "Conduct Detrimental to the Club" effective immediately.
He is not allowed to participate in any team activities or be on the team premises until November 9.
After Sunday's loss to San Diego, Johnson posted some controversial remarks about his head coach and a gay slur on his Twitter account.
Johnson followed that up by uttering another gay slur towards reporters in the lockerroom after practice Monday. Here is the audio from that incident...thanks to the KC Star
"We will be filing an appeal on behalf of Larry tomorrow," Johnson's agent Peter Schaffer said. "While we respect the Chiefs' ability to try to discipline a player, we disagree and respectfully disagree that the punishment they propose is warranted by the facts or allowable by the collective bargaining agreement. Hopefully, we will be able to work out a mutual and positive resolution with the Chiefs short of a hearing. If we don't, then this will go to an arbitrator."
Here's Jack Harry from KSHB-TV in Kansas City breaking it all down...
All those of us at OSG HQ have to say to LJ is "Back away from the Twitter, son..."
