He was given a one-game suspension on Wednesday for conduct detrimental to the club. It was one day after he was kept away from the team activities on Tuesday as investigation was going on. All of these troubles were resulted from a gay slur. The two-time Pro Bowler used the slur when he questioned Coach Todd Haley’s football credentials on his Twitter account during an exchange with one of his Twitter followers. The next day he used it again when he asked reporters to get out of his locker and the Kansas City Star recorded his comment. It also caused a national gay rights advocacy organization to call on the league and the team asking for disciplinary action against the running back in Chiefs jersey.
But at least the suspension is much better than losing job. According to some provisions on his current five-year contract with the Chiefs, the team has the right to release him without paying promised money if he violated the provisions.
