Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis speaks out after being escorted off United flight 

The real travesty is that this kind of thing happens every day. It's good he has the platform to shine a light on it.

Well said.

​@roots1458 it doesn't happen every day

United Airlines is famous for this kind of despicable behavior. Remember in 2017 when that Asian doctor was dragged off the plane and was beaten bloody by security officers?

It’s terrible. And this guy even though he apologizes just plain doesn’t care about what kind of issue he creates by being this way. And how much he affects people around him and being a flight attendant prob is pretty self focused. They tend to be chosen for that role bc they are self care people.

What gentlemen's club was it where you worked?

@@DavidClark-vu3dwsuperbowl halftime

Yeah, and who cares if somebody touches the flight attendant? Why do they deserve respect? Everybody on the plane should be able to touch her, and whenever they want, not just when they need ice, smh

​@@tennised2283Wow... This is a dumb comment.

@@tennised2283 so have you NEVER tapped someone on their shoulder/ arm to get their attention? Ridiculous! This guy is one of the most calmest persons ever! ftr: the attendant was a male.

They said the same thing about Dahmer.

Yes there is and he clearly said it. Don’t ignore this man! Thst was definitely a moment of humiliation. Now he needs to make United & that flight attendant feel it in court

@@Klgray7373 What I am trying to say is this man is respected and has so much inner fortitude. I am saying something like nothing can take away your dignity--I am not ignoring him. I am saying how great he is, and how much we respect him, how much we are on his side.

@@robertmadison1205 I know you intent wasn’t that but pay attention to your word choices. When someone tells you had THEY FEEL don’t be dismissive. It’s invalidating or attempting to invalidate like oh it wasn’t that bad. Believe people when they speak over their own emotions. Perhaps your image & perception didn’t change of him but that has zero to do with how HE SAID HE FELT. Don’t be on such a high horse to miss the lesson. The lesson is listen to how THAT person FEELS

Absolutely Absolutely

So let me get this straight because he's famous and you love him as the athlete pro NFL legend he can't fill embarrass or demoralize if that's what he's saying he felt. Why are you gaslighting how he feels.

EGGZACKLY - He was with his FAMILY. Not his "Side piece" or a "Mistress" this was his wife and kids. They saw a super black man living and traveling better than the job he's doing having to be a server to the very people he DOESN'T want to see taking flights and decided to weaponized his whiteness.

Do you really think everyone flight attendant at UA is like this? And you're going to "cut off your nose to spite your face" as it were by not flying on their airline. There are horrible attendants like this on every airline, but they are few and far between. Are you going to boycott them too?

Bc some people like to shine a light on themselves even if it hurts others. They want attention and especially negative attention.

Same airline that assaulted a doctor because he didn't want to leave his seat due to overbooking.

Also, why in the world would the law enforcement put hand cuffs on him without speaking to him first or wait til he got off the plane to get his side of the story. He obviously wasn't aggressive or causing anykind of trouble in that moment. His poor family. The airline owes him big time. I know that's not what he wants, but they do!

He is very intelligent as well! It will work out in his favor! What a shame and a disgrace!

Tell ol' Reg that i say hi.

Also sue the LEOs because they did NOT tell him WHY he was under arrest. What crime did he commit?!

🙄

I'm a retired flight attendant that would happen all the time shoulders, arms . You're correct. And probably knew who he was . But now he's loosing his job. And the union won't be able to help a fool born everyday

write good for you I have been

Maybe she’s a Raiders fan

is it only Terrell because he's famous or would everyone that has experienced this have a case against the airlines? Because I have witnessed this myself with a mom on a flight that only raised her voice to a flight attendant! It was shocking to see and United and other airlines need to retrain these flight attendants so they are not so easily offended!

What about the flight attendant? I feel as though he should be arrested and have have charges filed on him for falsely accusing Mr. Davis of assault.

​@@autumncheung145 they should sue

Taxpayers will foot the bill

we are with / united airlines is in full recovery!!

It actually is but they don’t mind breaking the laws as we all can see

​@@yakeishaallen5343- No, it isn't illegal. It's typically against the policy of American law enforcement agencies, but it isn't illegal. There are just legal limits on how long officers can incarcerate you without formal charges. But even if they violate that, they're very unlikely to be criminally charged (but you can sue the government). Also, officers can completely change their stated basis for arrest, after the fact. They can detain and arrest you without a valid basis, and then analyze bodycam footage and find what could've been a valid basis but was not at all a factor in their behavior at the time. And officers can arrest you for any unlawful activity, including simple traffic violations. It doesn't have to be a crime or a serious traffic infraction. All that and more is the result of judges deferring to law enforcement "in the interests of public safety." We allow people who aren't like us and who don't have to deal with the issues of regular people to control our governments, and then we wonder why our governments serve us so poorly.

Very illegal to be arrested without told charges and Miranda. But not illegal to detain...call lawyer

OR interviewing witnesses particularly the other passengers.

They do get told WHY from the videos that i have seen when a passenger shows there behinds but of course there going to make him a exception . Dam shame I hope he sues them , this is way out of hand . I will never fly with them .

Oh they will be this gonna cost them a pretty penny $$$$$.

The FA, purser, and the flight Captain need to be held accountable. They should be in jail.

Is the flight attendant trans?

Yess Sue

United are the ones who beat the crap out of that Asian doctor, right? Had to pay millions to him. They just don’t learn.

Which guy? The flight attendant? C'mon man.

​@@photographyinflight4183We don't know who the flight attendant was . You obviously aren't too bright

​@@kennydee9346 these people are never the bright kind.

I’m pretty sure OJ’s neighbor said that about him in the beginning too. Just Kidding!!!!!

​@@bobbyw1074OJ was found not guilty in the court of law in the American justice system! Go figure

I'm saying!! 🙏🏾

How could the passenger sitting in front of him see this?

@@Lizwindsor The tone of the flight attendant could’ve drawn the attention of the other passenger, causing him/her to look behind. It’s not uncommon for people around you to observe their surroundings.

​@Lizwindsor, they were maybe turned around trying to get their attention too.

Because the jerk working the cart.. walked pass Mr Davis. Mr Davis tapped his lower arm to asked for ice!! The lier said mr Davis punched him to get the ice!! 😅 so yes the guy in front saw the truth.. i hope Mr Davis who has the money.. will sue both airline and lier for millions... this happens allot liers like trump.😊

When these blacks get into positions they act out of character

@@denisecampbell6191 💯💯

I am very sorry that happened to you!❤

@@denisecampbell6191 "These"?! Which black folks do you approve being in these positions?

@@denisecampbell6191 I notice that when little people whatever their color get a position with a little power it gets to their heads. Little Napoleon complex.

Happens to us everyday people also, thanks for speaking out

@ytrbro1041...👎🏿..Too Late..The never speak up at the height of their CAREER ..earning M💰etc etc etc There's a saying...Stone @the bottom of the river never know that the sun shines above"...

It’s a Everyday life now just got to adopt to it glad he spoke out for people like us hope it cause changes

🎯💯

Yes I immediately thought about that A football life episode. He seems like a good dude. On a flight w his family

An entire nation of people loved Bill Cosby, Jimmy Saville, OJ Simpson, Jared the Subway guy...until they didn't. This is always a bad argument, because we can't even know the true characters of neighbors, or even the people who live in our own homes. Plenty of people in most people's lives think they are great, or at least decent.

Facts

I only see one side of the story here. Regardless, he shouldn’t be touching strangers. No one likes being touched by someone they don’t know, no matter how light the “tap.”

THIS!!!

True. This is false imprisonment under color of legal process. Why this Flight Attendant not being arrested for filing a false report. That is a crime. Tired of Law enforcement getting a pass.

That's not fair. Law Enforcement didn't know. They arrested him on the basis of what the flight attendant said. It was the flight attendant's fault

⁠@@BlueStaRadianceOh please. They have no due diligence to conduct an investigation? We all know what will happen, they will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.

@@BlueStaRadiance they could have checked out his story & asked anyone who was sitting near him, why didn’t they do that? Anyone can say anything they want, should police assume anyone who accuses someone is telling the truth & thereby violating the rights of an innocent person just because someone has accused them?

Yup! 💯

True

Not necessarily, because there were witnesses.

I believe Dr.Dao received $10 million after he was dragged off the plane with a broken nose, broken teeth, and a concussion. This won't bode well for UAL.

Exactly ....you should not get away with something because your an NFL legend ....but the guy was innocent and had to deal with a real DIVA Flight attendant who was having a bad day...

It’s not the airline! This could have happened on any flight!

@gregoryharlston0602 great point Greg. I stand on what I said until they publicly put out a firm statement showing that they're going to right this wrong though. After that, I'll consider United as an equal airline when making reservations. Thanks for the comment. You are correct. 🙏🏾

lol you really showed them a thing or two!

All the airlines have their issues. United is decent. Delta is too. I usually fly Southwest though.

Many of them are KAREN'S

I agree. Ridiculous

True, this was a Ken. Just ridiculous. How do you get an innocent black man arrested because you’re in a bad mood.

​@ms.t3039 Exactly! 😡

Totally agree 💯

We all have

lets not forget this flight attendant is just a person without the ability to shine a light on anything. At this point it is just as likely his kids fault. Maybe he drank to much. Lets not jump to conclusions. Just because one person is big and famous.

@@stoggy4839with the amount of phones available if something significant actually occurred someone somewhere would have recorded it

I was thinking the same thing.

He was drunk

Never, they see it as an invasion of privacy

They should have to wear cameras like police do.

Its no different than putting cameras in the hotel hallways. Its for safety and it is 100% necessary on a plane to protect both passengers and attendants​@vibranthang13

I agree 💯

Agreed

Me too! 🤔

Yes, every report that flight attendant made should be investigated.

Where's the video?

I got the feeling there's more than just a few flight attendants out there who have a history of pulling some stoopid, ignorant, silly BS on anyone they feel like anymore today. Seriously, WTF-OVER! 🤔

Yes, I would like to see people sue the individuals. If people want to sue the airlines fine but these individuals also need to be held accountable.

@@marriejames01 Also expose who he is, so he knows what is feels like. Embarrassment and defamation of character.

I would at minimum name them.

Why did he touch the flight attendant. ?????

@@Estrellitastar1to get his attention. Let’s not act like you’ve never done before. It’s not unusual to tap someone on the shoulders.

Awful

I'm sure they fired the guy . If they haven't , they will soon like it or not

agreed

We're suffering from a lack of decorum. As a country we have given up on showcasing our best selves. It would do us all better if we would step back and evaluate our own lives in private and ask ourselves tough questions.

@@kennydee9346 He was fired by United Airlines.

Exactly..not just with incidents like this…but also all near collisions,wheels falling off.doors flying open..and a big cover up..the whistleblowers are speaking up..

Guess you wasn’t alive through the 60’s and 90’s

It is a nightmare, years ago I thought exciting to fly, NOW I dread it to the max.

flying is in gangster mode!! they rude ans aso . be rude back or yes dont touch them and make sure others are watching!! they are air gangter especially UA

💯

Now that there innocence is proven, they can definitely press charges against the flight attendant

@Readit4Life_2Chron7_14 I garantee u that this gets thrown out of criminal court and never sees a civil court! All dismissed! The only question I have why is a HOF nfl player sitting in coach?

​@@JH-tg3qgAnd why does this matter? Maybe he wanted to save money. That question is a non-factor.

@@4naymsakeRW true true .

so what

I’m sorry, isn’t GMA an anti-Trump, liberal leftist channel? How could they be providing accurate stories? Oh, thats right, they’re actually a channel that supports human rights and justice. I want the entire black community and others to remember this come Election Day, the Republican Party is NOT your friend. You want more of this type of treatment? Or less? Up to you.

I dont think this male Karen was sensitive. He is dangerous and uses his privilege as a weapon to harm others.

Do not touch people end of story

@@lachlanfraser3147 If a service person is that averse to being touched they need to find another career.

@lachlanfraser3147 it's clear this man was trying to get his attention. I've had people who got my attention by touching my shoulders or hand these people was only trying to help. Don't work around people if you don't want anyone to get your attention. He's clearly in the wrong field and hospitality is not it.

@@lachlanfraser3147really? I fly regularly and always sit in the aisle. Do you know how many times in my lifetime flight attendants butts have hit my arm? Or their legs kicked my leg or stepped on my foot? Or the cart banged my elbow? Or a passenger has done the same? Or a bag hit my face? It’s part of flying. But according to you, let’s just call it assault every time? And ok, let’s say those were not purposeful and accidental, u know how many times flight attendants tapped me on my shoulder to wake me up? Or ask for my drink? Or to serve me a meal? OK, let’s have all of them arrested. I don’t even know why I’m replying to U troll bot.

Yep. Fly Delta next time.

I'm sorry but I hope yall had a great time in Cancun! We love it there!

sounds like that attendant had PTSD

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Somebody should check on Dr Dao and see how HE's doing these days..

I honestly don’t know I’m not a traveler, are there security cameras on planes so officials can see the flight attendant was not struck? It’s terrible this gentleman was shamed & embarrassed the way he was.

I’m not sure about a bad day… sounds like a racist to me

This has nothing to do with a bad day it’s called racism.

I was in a situation a couple years ago where someone falsely accused me of something in the work place. When I went to HR the individual only apologized to HR and didn't say Jack to me. However, that person was relocated to a separate office and they pretty much kept their distance for me they entire time I was there. Being a little wiser I should of realized they weren't mature enough to apologize. But seeing that person be miserable because they got caught was punishment enough.

Maybe didn't take his meds. Or mixed them with the wrong pills and alcohol?

lets not forget this flight attendant is just a person without the ability to shine a light on anything. At this point it is just as likely his kids fault. Maybe he drank to much. Lets not jump to conclusions. Just because one person is big and famous.

​@@stoggy4839you are assuming it is the kids fault yet you were not there. Smh

Happens all the time.

Agree!

​@@stoggy4839why are you so fragile?

Video will come out soon! Hold tight.

@@DavidClark-vu3dw In 5, 4, 3, 2 …

Amen

💯

Me too!!! It’s so heartbreaking that someone like this flight attendant can literally lie about a very minor encounter, and as a result Mr. Davis is immediately treated like a criminal without getting his side of the story.

Basically your complimenting him for being a surprisingly well spoken black man nice back handed compliment save it for your trailer park

@@Landcruiser252 chill out. he did not mean it in that way!

What did you expect him to do? Thrash around and flail his arms ?😂

@@CoverBoy_Officialthat’s exactly how he meant it

A stud? I see that your vocabulary is limited. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Why if someone pushes you and puts their hands on you. You would be mad too!

@@Estrellitastar1now you know he didn’t push the flight attendant. Don’t be ignorant.

Psychosis is running rampant

That’s what I was thinking as well!

They all should drop out.

And they miss the real threat it makes no sense😢😢

Exactly

NEVER.

Don't jump to conclusions just yet. There has to be video!

​@@DavidClark-vu3dwoh wow 😂😂😂

​@DavidClark-vu3dw You people continuously spew this ridiculous rhetoric because you're hoping and praying "the black person" actually did do something! It's pathetic, sad, and aggregious that you think this way!

The black pilots had an issue with United a few years ago. That’s all over Google

❤

Add American Airlines too.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Salute

There are more holes in his story than a block of Swiss cheese!

United Airlines has the most of this type of thing.

Let me guess his next flight he will get free luggage check in. Or frequent flyer points. 😂

I agree with you 100%. But law enforcement has to have accountability also. STOP taking flight crew words as God and not investigating without treating passengers like criminals..remember 7 years ago when LE was called (United also) about a passenger "refusing" to give up their seat and was injured while being forcibly removed.

Sickened .

Do not be. Because you will be crying for the rest of your life.

Don't you get @root's sarcasm? ​@@zhairetariq2002

@@roots1458 as a retired police officer with 32 years of experience. These officers did a terrible job. You never hear one side of as story and make an arrest in this situation, without talking to both sides and any potential witnesses. Especially when the accused is non-combative. You can have him exit the plane and then interview him. Once you place the handcuffs on, you are depriving him of his freedom and making an arrest.
