Dallas Cowboys star Tyrone Crawford doesn't have any hard feelings after getting booted from an American Airlines flight Thursday.
Speaking on the "Ben and Skin Show" on 105.3 The Fan, the defensive tackle said he was removed from the Canada-bound flight for calling an employee a "bum" and briefly refusing to move out of the way.
The dispute began when Crawford, who was seated in an exit row, was asked to check his carry-on bag because it was too big. After requesting to speak to a manager in hopes of not having to check the expensive bag, Crawford said he eventually checked the luggage to avoid holding up the other passengers.
That's when Crawford said he called the crew member a bum for not letting him hang on to his bag and refused to get out of the employee's way for "a minute."
Crawford said other passengers booed the employee after he was asked to leave the plane.
After learning of the incident, American Airlines reached out to Crawford on Twitter Thursday evening.
Despite the setback, Crawford gave the Fort Worth-based carrier a shout-out for a swift resolution.
