[Topeka Capital-Journal] Accused of making an obscene gesture to a fan, Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley says that such a thing is not in his character.

Fans were abuzz Wednesday over an accusation leveled Tuesday night through a Kansas City TV sportscaster. The fan, who was not identified by the sportscaster, said Haley flipped him off while walking into the tunnel right after Sunday’s home loss to Cleveland.

Haley responded Wednesday, saying he appreciates the Chiefs’ fans and wouldn’t disrespect them. He said he has five children to be a role model for and that making obscene gestures to fans is not the way he behaves.
