The Kansas City Chiefs‘ star running back, Larry Johnson, is just 75 yards shy of breaking the all-time rushing record for the franchise.

Many fans of the Chiefs are not happy about that. Nothing would make many of them happier than to see the Chiefs’ general manager, Scott Pioli, fire the running back before he reaches this feat. In fact, an online petition has been circulating for that exact reason. Fans of the chief’s pleading for the “cancer” in the locker room to be cut from the team.

“While we are thankful for his service, we feel that Larry Johnson has been a black eye on the organization and has no business being mentioned among the team’s all-time greats,” the petition reads.

As of Wednesday in the late afternoon, 1,400 signatures have already been collected in the campaign to get rid of Johnson.

“We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the pride that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson. Please do not let his name sit atop the all-time rushing leaders in Kansas City Chiefs history,” the petition says. “He has never represented anything close to the values that we have for our Chiefs and it would be another dagger to the fans that continue to support this proud franchise.”

“We are asking this as a favor to those of us who have supported this team long, long, long before you were brought in,” the petition continued. “We will support you through thick and thin — you will find out that we are a loyal, loyal bunch. … However, allowing Larry Johnson to attain a record is something that can never be erased.”

As for now, Larry Johnson is suspended from the team until November 8, due to homosexual slurs made on his twitter account. After November 8, who knows what will happen.
