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.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2738027/postsn ~ as I noted the other day on this same thread, this happened. You could have done a link and search for US Airways and found it ~ but there it is ~ proof that US Airways has no dresscode for paying passengers. It’s also proof that they don’t care what you think, and that stuff happens on airplanes. Look around you someday.

Civility in dress and/or manner is a lost cultural attribute. Piggish, thuggish and spoiled-brat behavior debases this great nation and is a direct result of me-me-me liberal feelings and is calculated to offend for no other reason than to offend.

Defenders of crass behavior are themselves a great part of the problem and apparently do not feel basic respect for those around you counts for anything. It is "self esteem" that drives those brats, not SELF-ESTEEM. Civil behavior should be ingrained and a product of good manners. Some disagree and celebrate ill-mannered brat behavior.

Ad hominum “look around” comment is ridiculous and does not reflect reality. Your link does not work, so have no idea of poor behavior you are trying to justify.

Shame on the guy showing his butt to the world, and more shame on those that defend such actions.

Please see my Post 62 for latest round of defending the uncivil and immature.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2738027/posts Try that thread to see if they have the picture. I just checked and it was still live. You are defending THAT guy and Condemning a man with pants on. Jus’ sayin’ we think we’ve figured out some of your motives in this.

“You are defending THAT guy”

Perhaps you are more than a little confused, Mr M. I said; “Your link does not work, so have no idea of poor behavior you are trying to justify”

My motives are what I, and other civil people, express and live by. Yours, well, they speak for themselves as you go about defending boorish behavior.

Have a nice day. We will let thinking and civil Americans decide what is the right/conservative point of view on this.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2738027/posts works fine. Quit sounding like an idiot and get the straight skivvy. Mr. “blue” in his bra and panties was allowed on board by the same USAirways that banned the young man with his pants on.
