as i mentioned in yesterday's post, apparently there's a football team called the kansas city chiefs and apparently there's a football player named larry johnson who apparently plays for them. until recently, none of this information was on my radar.
but, larry johnson was suspended from playing football due to a gay slur escapade he went on during nfl time and on nfl property.
larry johnson has since apologized to his fans for "letting them down" but made no mention of expressing regret toward the gay men and women he actually offended. nice guy, huh! the real breaking news is that larry's lawyer is appealing the nfl's decision to suspend johnson, saying in his defense:
"we know the n word is unacceptable, that's not disputable -- but f*g? I'm learning that there's a segment of our society that finds it offensive and that it should not be used. I didn't realize that, but I do know now..."
case-in-point of yesterday's blog: the n word is completely off limits (and isn't it a coincidence that larry johnson is black?!) but the f word is fair game? and in all fairness, he didn't realize it was offensive to anyone.
(?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)
not all is lost though, thank god he finally learned about that "segment" of society that finds it to be a big no-no. why didn't someone tell him earlier? for all he knows, he could have made the f word his son's middle name! oops! that was a close one!
i mean, he's just a lawyer, he can't know everything, geez. his townhouse is located under a rock for crying out loud! cut the man some slack...
