Terrell Davis and his family were looking forward to vacationing in California when the NFL Hall of Famer was inexplicably handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines plane. Davis told CNN he felt he was “treated like a convict.” He said while he was being handcuffed, a law enforcement officer told him: “Don’t fight it.” #CNN #News

    i believe that flight attendant did hear him, but chose to ignore him.

    I think it's so funny because they normally would get away with this shit but instead they went after a Superbowl MVP and NFL HOFer

    He struck the flight attendant, but the attendant returned with a cup of ice? Mr. Davis lawyer is salivating.
  • @rubenavalos5455

  • @Rastebb
    What about the pilot who called for the FBI? Clearly the attendant wasnt that scared because they continued the flight and didnt land

    I'm a retired Flight Attendant ... unfortunately I must say, that some of my former colleagues were on an absolute power trip ... and sadly, pilots would back us up out of loyalty to their crew w/o hesitation ... I'm disgusted by what this family had to go through ... it would have never happened on one of my flights ! ... but if it did, I would have raised hell, defending this lovely man/family !

    Usually, I'd say lets see the other side first, but if the flight attendant got removed from duty and United apologized, you best believe when they did an investigation, and asked a bunch of witnesses they found out what this guy said was saying was true. It's embarrassing in the moment, but if you did nothing wrong you should be vindicated.

    From Colorado, TD has always been a class act, man of humility and integrity.

    I feel so bad for him and his family! So now it’s flying while black instead of driving while black! Racial Profiling while flying! It’s disgusting?
