What Really Happened When Joe Thomas “Re-Accommodated” James Farrior?

If you’ve paid close attention to the news on Monday you’ve probably seen quite a few reports about what happened over the weekend on a United Airlines flight 3411 from Chicago to Louisville. In case you missed it, a passenger was forcibly removed from the overbooked flight after nobody volunteered to give up their seats.

Since then, United CEO Oscar Munoz issued a public response to what happened on that flight and in it he apologized for customers being “re-accommodated.” As you can see in the attached tweet below from Cleveland Browns tackle Joe Thomas, he didn’t appreciate Munoz’s choice of words and he included a picture of him “re-accommodating” former Steelers linebacker James Farrior during a 2009 regular season game for effect.
