all eyes on lj; day 2

Today, ESPN is reporting that LJ is being told "stay away" and "go home" by the Kansas City Chiefs for mistakenly using a gay slur while requesting reporters leave the Chiefs locker room after their embarrassing loss to the San Diego Chargers.

"Until that review is complete, the Chiefs have instructed Larry to refrain from practicing with the Chiefs or participating in other team activities," the team said in a statement. "A decision regarding Larry's status will be made once the investigation has concluded."


However, not all seemed content with this ruling:

Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, called on the NFL and the Chiefs to take disciplinary action against Johnson and seize a chance to educate "on the dangers of homophobia in sports."

Such slurs are used to "ridicule and harass young gay and transgender athletes on local sports fields across America," Barrios said.




Both LJ and his agent don't seem to worried about the quasi-suspension, given it's a bye-week, and are almost content to wait until all this nonsense can be straightened out. When asked about his pending sentence LJ replied,

"Mexicans don't have souls".
