Legal action is not out of the question. NFL Hall of Fame running back Terrell
Davis is considering legal action after he was handcuffed
and briefly questioned following a United Airlines flight.
His attorney, Parker Stinar, said as much
in an appearance on CBS on Wednesday morning.
“They need to be held accountable,” Stinar
said. “We would love to see policy change. We think that’s very important,
beginning with a sincere, true apology.”
Davis said in a separate television
interview that he thought he might have been racially profiled.
“That moment, I felt all of my dignity. I
felt powerless. I felt embarrassed,” Davis said.
The incident
happened while Davis, his wife and three children were traveling from
Denver to Orange County in California to go to Disneyland.
“The problem is the scars that took place
and the trauma that took place are going to impact this family forever,” Stinar
said. “Equally as important, we have heard from dozens of other United
passengers that have experienced similar conduct, events and sadly, I don’t
know why it happened for Mr. Davis, most of those people aren’t handcuffed.”
United said it has ‘removed’ the flight
attendant in question.
Davis was the NFL MVP in 1998 and Super
Bowl XXXII MVP.
