FBI agents detained Denver Broncos Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis over the weekend after an incident during a United Airlines flight from Denver to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.
Davis explained the situation on social media after he was released, saying that he was "stunned" by what happened. He said he tapped a flight attendant on the arm to help with a request from his son, who was sitting next to him, and the flight attendant acted in what Davis said was a "rude" manner.
A statement released by the FBI's Los Angeles office didn't identify Davis by name, but said their agents and local police in Orange County "responded to a report about an incident that had occurred aboard a flight which required further investigation." The statement said the person who was detained "was cooperative with law enforcement and was released to continue his travels."
Davis said he was "in shock over the traumatizing events." He said he was traveling with his wife, two sons and daughter.

Davis became a businessman after retiring from the NFL in 2001. He is a partner in financial firm Alpha 1.

Metropolitan State University of Denver marketing senior lecturer Darrin Duber-Smith said he didn't "really see any long-term impact on Terrell or what he's doing."

"It's a very long time in culture, so you know, he's not a current star. He's got a business. It's not exactly well known, it's not a consumer business," said Duber-Smith. "He doesn't have a consumer goods company, so he doesn't have to worry about being thrown off shelves or anything. It's very clear that really he was the victim in this whole thing."

But United Airlines has to make amends, Duber-Smith said.

"I think that at this point the reputational issue is more of a united issue than anything that Terrell Davis really has here," Duber-Smith said. "United's done the right thing so far. But they're going to have to negotiate with TD, see what he wants, because, you know, being taken into custody is something that you never forget. It's a low point in your life."

"This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide, and we have reached out to Mr. Davis's team to apologize," United Airlines said in a statement to CBS Colorado. "We have removed the flight attendant from duty while we closely review this matter."

Davis signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in the mid-1990s and retired due to injuries seven seasons later. He is in the Broncos Ring of Fame as well as the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 1998, he was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXII. That year, he had a 2,000 rushing yard season, something very few running backs have achieved.

Panadol after headache

I watched him on CNN some hours ago, but still did not get the details of what interaction between him and the flight attendant resulted to him deserving handcuffs.

Flight attendants think themselves to be God because they fly in the air.

Airline staff, even the ones on the ground, need a new orientation on how they engage their patrons.

Not even only that. I don't have the time of all the nairaland's Trump's almanjiris in arguing anymore, those who aren't even eligible to travel to America talkless of voting their hero. Whites really misbehaved during Trump's era. We could also see how the white police acted on blacks .

Not only that, there was a white boy who shot a black buy at a rally and claimed he acted on self defence, despite the fact that the guy didn't even near him, talkless of attacking, with the cctv footage evidence and the court acquitted him. What of the young EMS black girl who was shot severally by white police in the abdomen, without committing any offence?

If trump should come back, more of such rascalities are inevitable . Trump is a racist and he's not even hiding it.

Trump has never pretended not to be a racist to secure the support of his hillbilly MAGA lunatics.

What I am trying to say is that Trump has had to pretend to be a racist to keep the bandwagon he has supporting him.

And that need to continue to project his racist act, is what led to the escalation of the Black Lives Matter protests that eventually galvanized the Democrats to defeat him.

I believe that he wonders at times, how lucky he is to have such a large crowd of "deplorables" who need somebody to lead them, and he appeared on the scene at the right time.

Trump took the US to a new low, that even we in Nigeria can draw references from his era in power to defend our own very low democracy.

Imagine the Capitol Hill insurrection.

China and Russia would just be laughing at the so-called leader of the democratic free world.
