Being a Pro-Bowl football player doesn't guarantee turf time at Deerfield High School, Chicago Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long found out recently.

Long said he was working out at Deerfield High School Wednesday when he was asked to leave, according to disgruntled dispatches posted on Long's Twitter account.

On Wednesday, Long tweeted:

"Remind me never to go train at Deerfield High School football field again."

And then:

"Something about crushing optional 100 yard sprints that Deerfield HS doesn't like on their vacant fields."

Earlier in the day, Long had asked his Twitter followers which Lake County high schools had turf fields for a workout. He later explained that he was "nostalgic" running on a high school field.

Long later tweeted that the athletic director gave him "the boot at about 3/4 through."

The pro football player, though, said he didn't throw his weight around to persuade school officials to let him stay.

Asked by a Twitter follower whether he informed the school employee who he was, Long responded: "No I'm not much for that kinda thing."

Remind me never to go train at Deerfield High School football field again.

Jennifer Waldorf, spokeswoman for Township School District 113, said the district's turf fields are only for the use of students and staff members during school hours because of insurance liability and maintenance costs.

Signs posted at the field prohibit public use, she said.

While running sprints, Long spotted Athletic Director Robert Ruiz, Waldorf said, and he acknowledged that he likely wasn't allowed on the field. Ruiz confirmed that to be the case.

"I think it was a quick conversation," Waldorf said. "There was no confrontation. … He quickly finished his sprints and left."

Waldorf said Long told Ruiz his first name, but didn't say he was a Bears player.

This isn't the first time a Chicago Bear has been ousted from a suburban high school athletic field.

In 2011, tight end Greg Olsen, who now plays for the Carolina Panthers, said he was kicked off the field at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire.

Many of Long's Twitter followers said he could come train at their respective high schools in the Chicago suburbs.

Meanwhile, Waldorf extended an olive branch of sorts on behalf of Deerfield High.

"We would certainly welcome him back to practice with the (Deerfield High) Warriors at any time," she said. "We'd love to have him back."

While most respectable NFL players are beating up gay party hosts, shooting themselves at nightclubs, murdering their wives, girlfriend's sister's boyfriends, and people stopped at stoplights; Long is getting kicked out of high school football fields.

He just doesn't get it ... I hope he never does.

You're a freak show. You have no real opinion of your own and you pander to others for their approval or you pile on because there is safety in numbers. You are all about approving other people's post and having yours approved. How about the zillion times you posted the guy eating popcorn watching the carnage. That represents you watching others react and your inability to form you own opinion. You are the ultimate, mindless group think poster

Well, I'm not nwf, but I have an opinion of my own. And that opinion is that you're fucking annoying and your schtick is old. Shave your neckbeard and go do something social, I think you need it.
