The never-ending embarrassment that is Chiefs running back Larry Johnson vented on Twitter last night about Coach Todd Haley and blasted fans, calling them poor and saying a fan critical of his poor play -- "Hey LJ, is it Haley's fault you fall when D-Linemen blow on you?" -- has a "fag pic." Thanks to Arrowhead Pride, you can read most of King Pink's tweets.

Red Zone, The Kansas City Star's blog about the Chiefs, says Johnson confirmed that the Twitter account belongs to him and the "Toon Icon" is one of LJ's nicknames.

The blow back from fans didn't appear personal. DrewK30 wrote: "@ToonIcon You have the same amount of TDs this year that I have." And "@ToonIcon Sorry to tell you, but you're one of the reasons why the Chiefs are where they are."

Those posts ed Johnson to say the fan was "broke"and call the guy a "lil gril," which was probably supposed to read "lil girl."

Criticism of Johnson isn't unfair. Look at his stats. The 29-year-old's best days appear to be over.

So what, there is nothing wrong using the word cracker. This country has become so pussified it's not even funny. Listen everyone uses/used the word cracker. It's not like he is beating up some cracker for christ's sake. Please stop making a big deal of nothing you crackers.

No big deal. Every guy I know uses it. Stop with people trying to take ownership of a word that only they can use. Once these pussy white trailer park sons of saltines stop using it maybe I will. Such a non issue in a over politically correct world.

Eddie, how many gay men do you know that use the word fag? Actually, how many gay men do you know at all? Probably none.

This isn't about trying to take ownership of a word in the slightest, it's about trying to stop the spread of hate-mongering by "respected" athletes by the use of slurs. He'd be (rightfully) punished in a similar manner if he'd used any other racial slur or an offensive remark against women. It's only your own homophobia that's stopping you from seeing why he should be punished here as well.

I think we have all missed the point. The fact that an NFL player is more comfortable tweeting than having a conversation with his coach is telling. We as a society are more obsessed with technology than our own best interest. Quit tweeting and start talking. We are on the edge of insanity and have already crossed the line into the absurd.
