United Airlines has issued an apology to Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis following a troubling incident on a recent flight. Davis alleges that he was handcuffed and removed from the flight after tapping a flight attendant on the arm to get his attention, with the attendant accusing Davis of hitting him. United has acknowledged mistreatment of Davis and reassured that this is not the standard travel experience they aim to provide. The airline has taken action by removing the flight attendant from duty while they investigate the matter further. Davis, who was traveling with his family at the time, was eventually released by law enforcement after clarifying the situation, with apologies extended to him. As a former NFL MVP, Davis plans to involve his lawyers to address the situation with United.
