The one-time Buffs standout became unhinged about what happened during his trip
Matt McChesney became the latest former NFL player to take aim at United Airlines. The former Colorado standout detailed a series of altercations during a layover at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday.
According to McChesney, this all started with his flight to LAX being delayed by 90 minutes due to a malfunction, which forced him to rush to his connecting flight. McChesney and his son weren't permitted to board the flight to Hawaii and were rerouted to another flight via United's partner, Hawaiian Airlines, at a gate "four miles" away from the original."We get there for the to literally turn her back on us and slam the door on our face,".
United Airlines provided a statement to SI saying, "We have been in contact with the customer and reunited him with his bags eariler today." However, they refused to comment about the situation at this time.McChesney's altercation comes a month after Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis was detained and escorted off a United flight for a mishap with the crew on July 13.
As owner of Six Zero Academy, McChesney has worked with several notable NFL offensive lineman at his training facility in Denver. The Colorado alum has stayed involved with the program as a guest speaker this preseason, along with conducting a sit down interview with Deion Sanders for his podcast. The All-Colorado prospect from Niwot played at CU in the early 2000s under Gary Barnett. McChesney had a six-year career in the NFL after going undrafted in 2005. He announced his retirement from the league following a freak golfing accident in April 2010.
