First of all, I apologize for getting on my soapbox at the expense of comedic content. It’s kinda in my contract that if I write for your site, I’ll probably pop off about this once.

So Kansas City Chiefs running back and current Target of the Week Larry Johnson is currently suspended for this week’s game and maybe further. After ripping coach Todd Haley on his Twitter machine, he responded to critical Twitters with his favorite gay slur. (Like I say every week, Twitter is a fantastic outlet for players to let fans know just exactly what kind of dumbasses they are). To prove he’s man enough to say it to people’s faces, not just on Twitter, he reportedly used the same slur on people in the locker room. And he’s now suspended. And I have to say I’m pretty happy about that. But what’s he really suspended for? We’ll probably never know. What if he’d used the same slur in a volatile defense of his coach and organization? What if the Chiefs were in first place instead of last? Additionally, considering the myriad stories of how he treats women, Larry Johnson is a pretty easy person not to like. But what if it were someone like Drew Brees? I have a feeling that Larry Johnson just managed to create the perfect storm, and under different circumstances, this might have turned out different. But I hope I’m wrong.

The package for this product reads, "Not intended for use by gay people"
