Turns out the customer is former Bronco Brendan Langley. Langley has been charged with assault.

I fly three or four times a month for work. So a lot. The only two conclusions I have reached are these:

1. They should have a Valium dispenser at the door to the airport.

2. Just mentally accept that the airline workers or TSA are going to frick with you and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Just smile and don't say much. Getting pissed only makes them frick you harder. Getting angry or violent will allow them to have you arrested and will make their week.

Damn, I don't know if saving that $5 was worth it.

Just goes to show that spliced videos rarely show the entire story... hope the football player gets some time but we all know that he won't

All that matters is who hit who first. That guy got wrecked. Never get wrecked.

He landed a good right that sent the UA guy backwards and almost put his lights out. That's better than average for a regular guy. I've seen worse striking in Ufc.



All he had was a right, and he telegraphed it. UA guy was just pitiful. There was nothing impressive about his striking.

Former NFL player Brendan Langley was arrested Thursday after he allegedly got into a fight with a United Airlines employee at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to multiple reports.

it's unclear what prompted witnesses to record the incident. It's also unclear what happened prior to the start of the video.

Authorities told TMZ that the United Airlines employee was not arrested, despite Langley claiming the employee threw the first punch. The employee has since been fired, a United Airlines spokesperson told the outlet.

Langley was reportedly charged with simple assault.

Employee fired & passenger arrested. Kind of tells the story that the passenger instigated whatever happened before the video.

Why would anyone be surprised. I honestly think United trains their employees to be mean and nasty.

I'm sure they didn't get the real story from all of the witnesses in a busy airport & just went off of 1 video as evidence.

I'm sure all of this was made clear to the police which led to passengers arrest.

I don't believe for a second the UA worker started that.


You could be right but I wouldn't bet against it. Some of them Airline employees have serious attitudes and think they can do whatever they want.

Not the argument, but he clearly assaulted the guy first.


According to what? This edited video?

Not saying who started it, but I just don't know about clearly taking any side off that.
