I signed the petition, but not due to the so called slurs. IMO...political correctness in America is ridiculous more often than not, has created more problems than not, and cost taxpayers millions, if not billions of wasted dollars.
I signed the petition as a matter of Chiefs principle & honor. The Chiefs team and fans have endured LJ's negative personality in many ways for too long. He has been given chance after chance to 'grow up'...by the Chiefs organization & fans, yet he always fails to 'grow up', respectively.
LJ's a negative aspect to the Chiefs in every way that matters, on & off the field. He needs to go, and this petition lets fans voices related to the matter of LJ overall be heard. My speculation is, most fans signed the petition as a result of simply being fed up with LJ, not due to the slurs as the media hype is making it appear.
Our voice as fans does matter...realistically the players are our employees...just as politicians are the taxpayers employee's. Without the financial support of fans...an NFL team can't feasibly exist, including financially.
