Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis said Wednesday he believes race played a determining factor in his recent removal, in handcuffs, from a United Airlines flight after he asked for a cup of ice.

Davis, a former Denver Broncos star and two-time Super Bowl champion, said he's still traumatized by the incident aboard a flight to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, on Saturday.

He said he believes race played a role in the incident.

"I believe if I were not a Black man, I wouldn’t have been in handcuffs until they found out exactly what happened," Davis told NBC News.

Davis, 51, was on the United flight from Denver when his son asked for a cup of ice and a passing flight attendant didn’t respond, he said.
