Larry Johnson and the $213,000 word.


In 2009 after following a 37-7 defeat to the San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson posted a tweet about his head coach Todd Haley. This was a very offensive comment saying that his father has better crdentials and that he was a horrible coach. That wasn't it though for Larry Johnson, after people commented about him, he backlashed and said that the man who made the comment had a "fag pic." These immortal words were taken off very quickly but the damage was already done, he was to get fined $213,000 for the words he spoke and then also suspended for 1 game.
