Former NFL RB Larry Johnson Shares Absolutely Psychotic Conspiracy Theory About Charles Barkley’s Coronavirus Test

Former NFL running back Larry Johnson shares strange conspiracy theory regarding Charles Barkley's coronavirus test results

When Larry Johnson played in the NFL, he ran with a bullish style that helped him intimidate any defender who dared to tackle him. That type of attitude helped Johnson earn two Pro Bowl trips and first- and second-team All Pro honors in back-to-back seasons in 2005 and 2006. Unfortunately, after that, his career spiraled downward, and he never rushed for more than 874 yards in a season.

While Johnson was known for being feared on the gridiron, since he’s retired, he’s sort of fallen off the map. Part of the reason why is obvious — he’s no longer a pro athlete — but another reason might be because of his interestingly strange hot takes.

For instance, just a few months ago, Larry Johnson blew a gasket following the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, leading to the former NFL star to go on some rant about the occult and the illuminati. Prior to that, Johnson popped off about Dwyane Wade’s transgender child, claiming the former NBA star “sacrificed” the kid. Pretty wild stuff, right?

As crazy as all those things might appear to be, Johnson was at it again today, sharing and commenting on a tweet deriving some conspiracy theory about prominent people like Charles Barkley regarding their coronavirus tests. Claiming it’s all a cover up for people like Barkley, Tom Hanks and others to hide their pedophilia activities, the former NFL player really seems to have outdone himself on this one.

Is anyone else speechless? Sure, there are plenty of conspiracy theories floating around out there about the coronavirus and what it is, where it might be and if it should be taken seriously or not (Hint: Yes, it absolutely should be), but this one endorsed by Larry Johnson is on a next level.

There were other people on social media who commented and replied to the tweet, but one of the more interesting ones was Lenny Dykstra, the former MLB All-Star who seemed to agree with Johnson that something fishy’s going on.

In addition to the theory about Barkley and Hanks, among others, Johnson also found it all too odd that the only member of the NFL fraternity to test positive for the virus is Sean Payton, head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Those are the same Saints who allegedly protected pedophile priests — which stems from a report that broke in January.

I’ll reserve my own opinions, but considering Johnson hasn’t seemed real stable in the head since he retired, I’m not so sure these conspiracies of his aren’t a little too paranoid. But, hey, joke could be on me.
