up to 3005 people. Keep signing
I don't see LJ playing another down as a Chief.
I signed it and i Hope that it helps. GET RID OF LJ NOW.
I was number 3905
Ha, problem is that Pioli/Haley could care less what we think regarding personnel decisions. They're going to do what they feel will lead to adding wins to our record, whether that means letting LJ rot on the inactive list every week, or... *gasp* playing him. Hopefully they feel it's the former though, so we can finally be rid of these distractions once and for all. Let's get the quiet guy Charles out there.
The petition is cool and shows that a lot of fans are in agreement here, but in the end I really doubt it has any effect on anything.
Its extremely hard to run with this bad an offensive line. Its hard to pass with this offensive line. Yes part of it is his fault but not most of it. Blame LJ all you want but he is the greatest RB the Chiefs have had (that played mainly for us). He is among the greatest Chiefs players whether you like him or not. This is football. I don't care about how good a person people are (Even though I don't see him like you people do). I refuse to sign this petition. There are MUCH worse problems right now like the OFFENSIVE LINE! The sig says it all. How about a petition to actually draft some offensive linemen? These petitions do no good anyway.
Priest.... ugh I used to think he was great until I recently went back and watched old vids. Nothing but slightly above average. Almost all Offensive line. Don't deny it. I don't care how great of a person he is. That often overshadows how good or bad a player was. Nothing special. Good cutback ability and intelligence is about it. Okoye was not a great back but a good one. If he would have played when he was younger he would be amazing. LJ impressed me the most out of these guys.
That petition is ridiculous. I have not been a fan of LJ for some time but to deactivate him solely to keep him from breaking Priests record is stupid. He has made enough bad decisions in his time here that one could make a list of reasons why to deactivate him.
LJ's numbers are not in the realm of unattainable by the next career running back for the Chiefs. Records will always be broken.
I would be for not placing him the ring of honor based on his time here, but c'mon man.

Charles will do a great job!
No one's saying this offensive line is good. But Larry Johnson is NOT running as hard as he can. He knows they suck and he is laying down. I think he is showing his disatisfaction by not playing 100%. Look at his Twitter account. He is a spoiled brat. It probably hurt him when his Daddy was coach. I think he needs to remember how fat those paychecks are. How much more motivation do you really need???? $100,000 an hour? Hmmmm, no sympathy for this punk.....*Heading to sign the petition now*
I can't wait for Charles to light it up Sunday and then we can stop talking about LJ forever.
Ok I agree that the O line is a much bigger problem for the Chiefs right now then RB. And hey i will even agree that for the most part petitions dont do much but. I have to disagrre about the off the field has no affect on a team. Simply put if a team is haveing to take time away from getting ready for there next game to deal with something that a player did off the field that does have a negitive affect on a team. And when one of the teams most talented players takes himself off the field becuse of something that he did off the field that just makes things worse. LJ took himself off the field this week due to his actions. Nothing good can come from that.
Lj has a lot of talent I have never said that he doesn't. I think that if he has a good team around him he is one of the best rbs to have on your team. As long as things are going well for him he wont run his mouth and be a problem. But this is not a good team. Things have not been going well and he has been a problem. To me he has lost his right to be around when things do turn around.
Great post Matthew

I signed...#7100!
I don't see the petition's purpose being as simple as to stop LJ from surpassing a record...it's way more than that...it's a matter of principle and honor, nothing more or less.
Not a big LJ fan but the fact of the matter is that records are made to be broken. However if LJ never sees playing time as a Chief again then it's a moot point.
well he's made the front page of the media

As Larry Johnson nears the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time rushing record, more than 10,000 fans have signed an online petition pleading for team officials to deactivate the running back after he posted homosexual slurs on his Twitter account.
F@ggot a$$ doesn't even mean what they think it does. It means a horribly wimpy man. Go look it up at urbandictionary.com and go see for yourself. It backs me up. I hear the word thrown around all the time but not meant to offend gays. This "gay slur" stuff is blown out of proportion. F@g these days means a loser or an idiot. He shouldn't have cussed period but this "gay slur" stuff in that it was meant to be against gays is just ludicrous....
I just had to get that off my chest as it really is bothering me. I don't really support what LJ did but come on. Words definitions change over time.
Words do change over time. But what will not change is that he is a useless human and needs to be out of KC.
We are not very good right now. Everyone knows that. We don't need a player going out to the media and saying the things he said. Not the slur, I am more pissed about the stuff said about the coach. You keep that in house and if you have a problem go talk to the coach about it like a man.
Agreed that he should not have said anything on Twitter or cussed in front of the media but there are worse people. I'm sure there are other players frustrated with the coach. You can't help how you truly feel about things. I try to be as open minded as possible and put myself in their view point and as to why they feel the way they do. Most people don't do that.
Whatever dont Chief fans have anything better to do. You are acting like a bunch of cry babies. So what if Larry Johnson called someone *** or Homo, more power to him.
Real NFL fans dont try to protect homos. Larry Johnson could and should kick all you fans who started this petition butt. Go get a job you losers

The funny thing is this petition has actually gone mainstream on NFL news sites. Haley was even asked about it yesterday. He declined to speak about it.
Please don't reference Urban Dictionary to prove a point.... I could go on that site and say that phrase means a purple giraffe. That doesn't make it true.
Umm no. They can take it off if thats not what it means. The definitions are rated and the highest rated is the first definition. F@ggot isn't used like it used to be. Its used to describe a loser or idiot. Thats what it means these days anyways so your point is invalid. Go look it up yourself....
I'm well aware of that, in fact last night's South Park episode was about that very thing. That doesn't make it any more PC. The dude is paid to act like a professional.
I could care less what he said on Twitter honestly. I'm just glad that Charles is finally getting an opportunity.
