Football player DaShon Marman was arrested and kicked off a U.S. Airways flight on Wednesday after refusing to pull up his baggy pants, ABC reports.
His mother said that she didn't like the way he dressed, either, but was furious at the airline's decision to kick him off and arrest him.
Officials argue that his pajama pants were "below his shorts." However, Marman explains that he attempted to pull them up, but couldn't because he was carrying his luggage and "in a line of people all moving fast toward the plane."
His mother said that she didn't like the way he dressed, either, but was furious at the airline's decision to kick him off and arrest him.
"He kept asking, 'Why? I didn't do anything.'... Deshon is not a troubled kid, he just wants to come home, get back into schooling and football and leave all this behind him. The clothing is a fad, but you cannot judge a book by its cover. That woman made a judgment call and from there, it became a power struggle. She figured, 'I'll show you.'

Today these kids that dress like that walk with an attitude that says look at me and you will die.
Just the other day in the food store AN EMPLOYEE was walking down the aisle with he pants in the middle of his skinny ass....I told him to pull up his pants he got smart with me and told me I should not be looking at his ass....by the time I paid for my groceries this punk was out the door....and YES I HAD HIM FIRED....expecially when the store manager is in the next aisle.
We are fighting wars in far off countries against terrorists. The truth is we have more to fear from the street thugs that are terrorizing our nation more than the those that have captivated our fears in the name of Islam. The street gangs are responsible for more deaths prior to 9/11 than the muslim terrorists could ever claim.
okay had to get that out.....Since the rest of us have to go through the groping crap, pulling up his baggy pants is the least he could do after all who knows what could be in them. It is interesting that he is kicked off the plane but DaShon believes he was holding his luggage and in a line of people. Hmmm maybe he is troubled
He was not arrested for wearing baggy pants.
He was arrested because he (a) was committing indecent exposure by having his butt showing, (b) engaged in disorderly conduct, and (c) resisted arrest when the police came.
Please get your facts straight in your headlines, SodaHead. Pretty please, with sugar on top.
Or better yet...let's all just live like this.
SCREW THAT!
Next time, wear proper clothing because outside of the hood?
NOBODY WANTS TO LOOK AT YOUR SKIVIES AND ARSE HANGING OUT YOUR BAGGY PANTS!
I think people forget that airlines are a business and may refuse to serve anyone they choose not too so long as they are consistent in how they make that choice and do not discriminate based on sex, race, age, sexual orientation.
It says nothing about inappropriate attire!
