Chiefs RB Johnson got into trouble for gay slurs

The Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson muttered gay slurs in telling reporters to get out of his locker after the Chiefs’ 37-7 home loss to the San Diego Chargers. He also wrote the same gay slur in a series of posts on Twitter Sunday.

As Johnson belittled rookie head coach Todd Haley in his Sunday posts, Hayley was asked by reporters about the slurs. The coach said Monday that the Chiefs were looking into “a couple of situations” involving the running back in Chiefs jersey and gathering facts.

“I will say that how our players conduct themselves with the media and through the media is very important to myself as a head coach, and to the Chiefs as an organization,” Haley said.

Johnson was drafted in the first round out of Penn State in 2003. His rushing yards has been 5,995 yards, only 75 less than Priest Home’s club record of 6,070 yards. But what he did out of the field have brought him frequently to controversies. He has been benched for three games last year and suspended for one in connection with separate incidents involving women in bars.
