TMZ: Agent Didn't Know LJ's Words Were Offensive?

I saw this on TMZ, but I thought the subject matter might be tired, so I didn’t give you the heads up….hehe

the more embarrassed I am that this story is the national representation of the Chiefs and Kansas City. I have lived in Texas for four years and never has anybody mentioned a story about the Chiefs or Kansas City to me, its always me to them. I’ve had EIGHT people bring this up with me in four days.

I am just consummately disgusted with LJ.

it was the preseason and Denver looked like they were totally collapsing and having all these problems? And we were loving it? Ahh the good ol’ days.

It’s a societal thing, though an agent with enough clout to represent NFL players should be in the segment that DOES realize it’s a hateful world and differs not one bit from the ‘n-word’.

The glaring difference is this: The belief that homosexuality is a choice has become alarmingly widespread. It was hard enough deprogramming an ignorant society from hating people based on their skin color – which we KNEW couldn’t be helped – is it ever even going to be possible to convince these new generations that being gay is okay? Especially when every other channel on the TV has some bible-clutching fanatic ranting about men laying with men. Being black made you a second-class citizen, but being gay sends you to hell! Ridiculous.

There’s a bit of irony in the fact that African-Americans are more homophobic as a group than white people. They rallied hard against Prop 8 in California. And in a sport that’s 77% black, it’s well documented how several notable players feel about gays. It goes hand in hand with how much more religious black folks generally are, but we have to eventually get to the root of the fact that you spent centuries fighting for your rights only to help quash the rights of another sect.

About this ‘f-word’.. it’s thrown around like nothing, so I can kind of understand where Schaffer is coming from. Instead of ‘stupid’ everything is ‘gay’ now. Instead of ‘a-hole’ everybody is a ‘f—’. We all played “Smear the Queer” when we were kids. The subtlety of it all is what’s scary. It’s seeped into our vernaculars and we’re numb to it, and it’s stalling the progression of the group overall.

“No homo” is becomingly increasingly popular for guys to say after complimenting other guys, as well. I’ve noticed a couple NFL players using “No Bruno” on Twitter instead, which I guess is a slight improvement. But the meaning remains. “By no means am I in any way meaning to sound like these people that disgust me”.

the agent is trying to spin it & deflect the situation by justifying that he didn’t use the “N” word and it was only the “f*g” word. LOL classic BS

Anything less and he simply wins. Fans of the NFL as a whole suffer when this sort of person is allowed to remain, and in this case, fans of the Chiefs suffer the most.

He never wanted to be here, and now he’s found a way out, and the Chiefs expense. What we did to deserve this guy is beyond me, but please save everyone else from this sort of person. I beg you.

between LJ and his agent, there is a whole lotta smartness going around. Maybe the 2 of them together make up half a brain?

 Was anyone else more offended about how LJ talked down to the fans rather than using the f@@ word? I was thinking about how we all spend our hard earned money to buy jerseys, tickets, other items to support the team and this guy is going to put us down because we don’t bank as much has he does. I really hope he doesn’t see the field again.

The gay population in KC is low and this is middle America most people in this part of the country don’t support or believe in homosexuality so for TMZ to blow this story up is silly. This is Kansas city no LA..
I hope no one is offended by this personally I have family and friends that are homosexual and even though my faith tells me its wrong I still love them all the same. I don’t think people in Kansas city were upset about the word we are upset that a Rich brat would throw his money in the face of FANS who support his business.
I have supported LJ and I still feel behind a good line he would be a very successful) but I don’t want him on my team and I don’t want the children of the city to think that its ok to say whatever you want because of your position or bank account.

RIP to LJ’s Chiefs Career

Right?

they’re not exactly legit reporting

If what he said is true then we have the blind leading the blind.

omg, what a moron

and the KC media are blowing this way out of proportion as a means to rid themselves of LJ. Did he act foolish?…certainly. Is LJ slowing down in his career?…yes. But is LJ truly the blame for his 2.7 yards per carry average…absolutely not. The offensive line parallels that of a good D-II school. I like Jamaal Charles and Kolby Smith and they’ll show flashes on occasion, but at the end of the year we all will still be complaining about how poor our running game is.
