Holmes(notes) is currently all the all-time leading rusher for the Kansas City Chiefs,
but Larry Johnson(notes) -- recently
suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team", i.e. using a nasty
gay slur twice in a 24-hour period -- is closing in on that record. If he
gets 30 or so more carries, he should get it.
A lot of Chiefs fans don't want that to happen. They love their Chiefs, they
respect the franchise's history, and they don't want Johnson's name associated
with it. It's not just because of the recent suspension, either. If you're
looking for them, you'll find no
shortage of reasons to dislike Larry Johnson.
So fans are taking matters into their own hands and circulating a petition
asking the Chiefs to deactivate Johnson before he can claim the record. The
petition reads, in part:
We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the pride
that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson...
