Johnson Denies Being Connected
To Politically Incorrect Rap Song |
Chiefs RB Larry Johnson’s name has been connected to a rap song containing “derogatory comments about the Chiefs, racial slurs, profanity and references to guns and weapons,” according to Adam Teicher of the K.C. STAR. Johnson “denied he was the rapper” in the song, which is on the MySpace Web page of a rap group called SBL Mob, and the man behind the recording “first said the voice was Johnson’s and then changed his tune.” Johnson said, “I’ve had ongoing problems with people impersonating me on MySpace pages.” NFL spokesperson Corry Rush said of the song, “We’re aware of it. I can’t really say whether it violates (the NFL’s personal-conduct) policy, because it’s kind of unprecedented.” On Friday the song was removed from the MySpace page (K.C. STAR, 9/15). In K.C., Jason Whitlock wrote, “Fearing [NFL Commissioner Roger] Goodell, unsure of an Imuslike fallout from [Johnson’s] politically incorrect rap and deciding that no laws were broken and no one got hurt, the Chiefs assumed a quick-dismissive denial was the proper course of action” (K.C. STAR, 9/15).
