Dez Bryant is disgusted by they story.
Sometimes you have to know when to pick your battles, I am sure the reason Marman was hassled wasn’t just because his pants sagging, but it isn’t worth getting arrested over.
Just pull your pants up, call your local TV station and tell your story if you want to embarrass the airlines.
Here is how it all went down.
A college football player was pulled off a flight and arrested because he was wearing his pants too low.
Deshon Marman, 20, a University of New Mexico player was boarding a flight back to college yesterday when he was stopped because his pants were ‘below his buttocks, but above the knees, and his boxer shorts were showing’.
The pilot was then threatened to make a citizen’s arrest if Marman did not get off the plane.
Officers said that after 15 minutes Marman left the aircraft and was arrested for trespassing.
‘One of the flight attendants on that aircraft was offended by the fact that she could see the outline of his private area,’ Sergeant Michael Rodriguez said.
‘He was not threatening anybody direct, but being on board an aircraft and being disruptive to the aircraft crew interferes with their duties and that could be a safety factor,’ he told KGO-TV.
But his mother Donna Doyle said: ‘He was attacked for three reasons – his clothing, his skin, and his hair.’
‘So you don’t like someone wearing a turban, you become offended, you ask them to take it off, they don’t take it off, you have them removed from the plane? This is his clothing,’ she told KGO-TV.
Big, young, black guy with braids and his pants sagging. I don’t think the flight attendant was offended as much as she was scared.
With that being said as my uncle told me when I was a youngin, you are a black male, don’t ever give them more of a reason to hassle you than they already have.
Marman was coming back home for a funeral of a friend who had been murdered, so I can understand his frame of mind wasn’t in the right place and to be honest the airline overacted.
I was on a flight with a bunch of girls with booty shorts on and no one got kicked off the plane.
Hopefully all the charges against Marman are dropped, but please young guys, pull up your pants it isn’t worth the trouble to be harassed.
