The Kansas City Chiefs might be the only team in NFL history to lose a first-round draft pick for cursing.
Offensive tackle John Tait stormed out of Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday, leaving a $4 million offer on the table after his agent accused Chiefs president Carl Peterson of cursing and bullying the deeply religious young Mormon."None of you guys would like to be treated like we were treated," agent Ethan Locke said. "He used the 'F' word four or five times when he was yelling at John and trying to intimidate him. John's a strong Mormon. After the second one, he stood up and said this is over.
"And you know what? We're going home tonight, and that's not a threat. It's unfortunate for John and the Chiefs and the fans. It takes a lot of nerve for a 24-year-old kid to say no to $4 million on principle."
