The Kansas City Chiefs on Monday reduced the suspension given to
running back Larry Johnson for his use of antigay slurs last week.
According
to the Associated Press, fear of losing arbitration motivated the NFL
team to cut in half Johnson's suspension for using antigay slurs on Twitter
and against journalists in the locker room.
"The agreement
saved the running back about $315,000," the AP reported. "The Chiefs
issued a terse announcement saying they had made the settlement in
conjunction with the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players
Association. Originally, they suspended the former two-time Pro Bowler
two weeks, which would have cost him about $630,000."
Johnson will participate in team activities again starting November 9.
