In the footage, the receiver got angry at the passengers and called one man fat and ugly as all the passengers had to deboard to get Beckham Jr. to get off the plane.
What are the current Super Bowl odds?

The receiver has now taken to Twitter to offer his side of the story in a series of tweets. Fans can make their own assumptions or conclusions based on Beckham Jr.'s words.
🥱🥱🥱 can’t address everything in this world, it’s exhausting. Errbody got an opinion on situations they weren’t involved in. All u can do is kno who u truly are. Purell only kills 99.9% of germs…there’s always gon be a lil left over
I kno who I am. Period. All the rest and opinions really don’t matter to me. Have a blessed day and enjoy the 🧀 board!
My favorite least favorite thing about this worlds besides people who don’t kno what they’re talkin bout.. is we can cut up any video however we want to make it loook exactly how we want GOOD or BAD. Funny world we live in . No 🧢
Anyways I’ve had enough fun wit the entertainment for the day…. Something that’s not goin down in the history books just news for the day. Carrying on and hoping everyone has a great day !
So there you have it. Make of that what you will. What is rather interesting is that the receiver then responded to a user's comment asking exactly what was said on the flight for the receiver to respond the way he did.
It gives the idea that what the receiver stated about "cutting up any video" has some truth to it. Beckham Jr. responded:
"Everything. But the n word. Stupid ignorant blasé blasé !! Wellllll now I got sum to say … and I just was rudely woken up from a goood ass sleep. Now kahmirrr."
@Keith_McPherson Everything. But the n word. Stupid ignorant blasé blasé !! Wellllll now I got sum to say … and I just was rudely woken up from a goood ass sleep. Now kahmirrr
Given the majority of Twitter responses, most people seem opposed to the wideout's behavior.
Did airline incident hinder Beckham Jr.'s chances of signing with a team?
The answer is likely no, but it certainly wouldn't have helped any team that was thinking about signing him. While not physically ready to play as he couldn't even work out for the list of teams he was visiting, the airline incident may have given teams reservations.
With next year firmly in sight for the star receiver, will this new footage hinder his chances of signing with a potential Super Bowl contender? Possibly, however, any team desperate enough for a wide receiver will likely consider his services.
Nevertheless, it appears that we haven't heard the end of this incident.
