Larry Johnson: Kansas City hates me so much, I can't get a fair trial

Former Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is being sued in Kansas City by a woman who says he spat on her in a bar. But Johnson says he needs to move the trial out of Kansas City because it would be impossible to find 12 people there who don’t despise him.

Johnson’s lawyer, Jack T. Bangert, told a judge Wednesday that folks in Kansas City hate his client with such a passion that he could never get a trial in front of an impartial jury there.

"If we can’t get a change of venue in this case, it is insurmountable," Bangert said. "We want to go anywhere but here."

In all honesty though... This is probably pretty close to true...

Though I imagine that even in Kansas City their are at least 12 people who’ve never heard of them… But they will probably have anti-football bias to begin with… So yeah he’s fukt
