SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A University of New Mexico football player who was arrested after wearing saggy pants on a plane at San Francisco airport insists in a video showing part of his exchange with authorities on the aircraft that his pants were up and he had done nothing wrong.

The San Francisco Chronicle obtained the video and a link to it was on the newspaper's website Saturday.

But what does it mean when you suck in your gut as you stuff a bag in a rack above your head and your britches fall to your knees?

How antisocial is that? And, who is being antisocial?

I doubt the crew cared. Somebody did. We need to know the names and positions of the protagonists and antagonists. Then we can research this further ~ give them phone calls, interrogate them, BRING ON THE WATERBOARD treatment.

That should aim everybody at the truth.

In the end the airline is a private business and they can set rules or refuse service.

If that is the case, then they should not have allowed him on the plane.

Sorry, they are wrong on this one.

If I want to wear nothing but a jock strap and combat boots is that okay? Get real folks, little by little, and day by day we’re losing our civilization. And please don’t tell me that the fate of western civilizations rests on this scumbug POS showing his underwear and ass!

Typical punk thug. . ."I know my rights." I would have tossed him off the plane too. The, "I can't pull up my pants because I have stuff in my hands" is BS. Boarding lines don't move too quickly for a athlete to keep up. He could have set his stuff down for a moment and pulled up his pants as was requested. He wanted to cause trouble; he got it.

I knew it. It's those Amish with their funny old-fashioned baggy clothes again

I was wondering if the ACLU sent a welcome committee when he disembarked.

Clowns to the left, clowns to the right.

Laugh every time I see the big boy pants on the little clowns.
All they need is a big red nose.

Or smell it or have his dirty behind sitting on cloth seats that soak up his butt-sweat.

” old men suck in their gut to lift a bag and their pants fall off ~ ain’t nothin’ new on an airplane.”

In my decades of flying, well over 2mil miles on one airline alone, I have NEVER seen that. Ever. Never. Ever.

I am glad they arrested his punk ass! Pants belted below the ass Is definitely used as an anti social statement.

I can't seem to find that specific video, do you have a link for it? Thanks

That's because you've learned to be polite ~ you just don't "look". That's the Japanese standard ~ stuff goes on that's none of your business you don't act as if you'd seen it.

Virtually any older man can tell you about the belt/gut interface failure. Then there's the OPEN FLY. Once you hit 60 it happens without warning. By the time you are 70 NO ONE CARES.

He did want to cause trouble.

That said, why in the heck do black women go for these black guys who are walking along the streets lurching back and forth to keep their pants up...with one hand on their weenies, because evidently even the lurching won’t keep the pants up and they have to grab their crotches to prevent a total melt-down.

That’s hot and sexy? They look like toddlers who need to go to the bathroom.

But the yutes seem to believe this makes them look like real studs. Go figure.

Where’s the video of what happened before the point this video begins? This video obviously doesn’t show the entire story.

In the end the airline is a private business and they can set rules or refuse service. I for one appreciate some civil rules and like that the airline didn’t back down.

I wonder how many women were on that plane with halter tops? Or, men with shorts? Or women with short skirts? Or, boys with sweat pants on?

Where is the dress code for an airline posted?

It's difficult to decipher but the guy using his iphone to film the event appears to have been intending to sit down where the cop and the pilot are shoving him out of the way.

Notice how the cop turns on him belligerently ......... did he imagine there weren't people inconvenienced by this nonsense?

US Airways website says "......Dress code We require that all passengers traveling on AD75 dress in casual business attire. US Airways gate agents are instructed to enforce this dress code, and passengers who fail to dress appropriately may be denied boarding........"

which means, of course, NO TUXEDOS, no formal funeral attire, and quite possibly NO SUITS.

Fur Shur "business casual" prohibits UNIFORMS.

Some of you folks might want to question US Airways about watsummata with uniforms?
