Beyond that, most every common use of the term "f@ggot" is intended as a pejorative. And "f@ggot" is an extreme pejorative that is has the effect it does specifically because it elicits an overwhelmingly negative reaction based on the visceral disgust straight men often have at the thought of two men french kissing each other or having anal sex.

Anyone who's ever had someone close to them, that they really care about, that is gay... will recognize how harsh and just unacceptable that term is. And when used as a pejorative, it's *exactly* like "n!gger" but for an entirely different community.

And if you hate the mere thought homosexuality, that's real hate.

You're an overly sensitive, whiny pussy.

homosexuality is something I don't care for...hate? Despise? I don't know, but I am not o.k. with it at all.

Wow some people are really butt hurt over this topic...























Chiefs=Good (I=Suck): I regret my actions. The words 'butt' and 'hurt' were used by me in flustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. I merely tried 'to hurt them verbally'. I was also just trying to say that some people obviously have 'hurt' theyre 'butts' by spending a lot of time typing big responses to this thread...

Fathers, if they are bonded with their sons, are very effected by what their kid does and says - especially in such a public way.

Anyway, I thought that "F" word was slang for a cigarette. It was when I was a kid.

Times have changed.

He could have said c*cks*cker and it wouldn't have amounted to much. F****T is just a word just best removed from your vocabulary. It's not that difficult to do.

If this forum is any indication reerun is the next off limits word.

Larry Sr SHOULD be embarrassed.


He should be embarrassed by his son's attempt to undo the hard work he put in to get to the suburbs by acting like he's ghetto. He should be embarrassed by his son's RAP about his former GM, pistol whipping girlfriends, spitting drinks on women in clubs, putting in half ass effort, and being too stupid to keep his baby fit out of public view.

The Adjective he chose to use wasn't right, but its pretty sad that with all of the bullshit he's pulled, 2 adjectives are the cause of the uproar.


Larry Jr treats weaker people like the Hawkeyes do Penn State.

I think it was the proveribal straw, not the gay slur. People are just fed up with his crap, ready to move on.

Chiefs fans are tired of his normal bullshit.

Personally, I think alot of the outrage over the terminology is faux. Its vogue to be offended.

I'm not offended by the words, I just think he's a disrespectful asshole, and that's enough. He's been disrespectful to women, the fans, the former GM, the new head coach, the fans again, and then the media.

F Larry Johnson. I think his daddy should have whipped his spoiled ass once in a while, and then maybe he wouldn't be such a spoiled pussy as an adult.

This is how I feel, more or less. I'm not really any more outraged that he called the pillowbiters than if he'd called them bitches, mother ****ers, or jackasses. It's just a symptom of the problem of LJ, and the Chiefs should rid themselves of the problem.

Also the fact that he can't keep his mouth shut on twitter and feels the need to go back and forth with a fan reveals just how deeply insecure and immature LJ is. Really pathetic.

Ditto. Aside from LJ's general immaturity and selfishness, the back and forth with the fan is what bothers me the most.

There is a line that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to fans. It reminds me of LeGarrette Blount after the Boise State game.

It was bad enough that he suckerpunched an opposing player, but then when he got into it with the fans, he really lost any and all credibility.

Professional athletes should never cross that line with fans, no matter what the reason IMO.

If you're a fan and write on an athlete's twitter/facebook wall and talk shit....

Prepare to get it back. That's all.

Everyone says its the athlete that needs to hold the higher standard. Lets not forget the fan needs to show some sort of responsibility too.

He needs to apologize to Bowe, who was probably offended the most.
