Chiefs Suspend Johnson

28. October 2009  - Published by Dan Clasgens

from the Kansas City Star:

The Chiefs have suspended running back Larry Johnson for two weeks, effectively immediately. The punishment is for conduct detrimental to the team.

Johnson is forbidden to be at team headquarters or participate in team activities before Nov. 9, the day after the Chiefs play at Jacksonville.

The Chiefs told Johnson on Tuesday to stay away from the team's practice facility, but that was not a suspension. Now that it has become a suspension, Johnson will forfeit his game checks for the next two weeks, which will cost the 29-year-old back about $660,000 total.

****
Johnson has been a grave disappointment and a malcontent for most of his career and it's not surprising to see it come to this. The fact that he was ignorant enough to use the offensive remarks twice in 24 hours shows you where his head is at. Many reputable NFL writers are speculating that Johnson has played his last down with the Chiefs. Look for Jamal Charles to get his shot at being the team's primary ball carrier.

It's very sad that Larry Johnson was suspended just for conducting detrimental to the team.This is not fair.
