Two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Davis expressed feeling humiliated after being handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight. The incident occurred when Davis lightly tapped a flight attendant to request ice for his son. The flight attendant accused him of hitting him, leading to Davis being handcuffed upon landing. Law enforcement later determined the accusations were baseless and apologized. United Airlines has issued an apology and removed the flight attendant from duty pending an investigation. Davis demanded an investigation and his attorney plans to contact United Airlines. Davis, a Hall of Fame member, had a successful football career, winning two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos. Despite early career success, injuries hindered his later years, but he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017.
