Odell Beckham Jr. has found himself in the middle of another controversy. The wide receiver, who last won the Super Bowl, is currently looking for a team. However, the chances seem bleak as the season heads to the playoffs.
In a recent viral video, Beckham was seen yelling at an annoyed passenger on a plane. Later, the authorities escorted him off. His attorneys highlighted that the situation was not how it seemed.
They said that OBJ had simply fallen asleep, and the flight attendant blew it out of proportion. Though it started going viral recently, the incident occurred back in November.

Fans certainly had some interesting reactions to the video. A few supported him, wondering why the video was cut, and no one was sharing the full scene. Others were unhappy with how OBJ was behaving.
Many labeled him as spoilt and entitled, agreeing that it was not a good look for the 30-year-old. Interestingly, there were multiple comparisons made to former WR Antonio Brown.
Overall, fans were wondering if Beckham is the next Brown in the making. The latter has been out of the league for months and is constantly in the spotlight of controversy.
What did Odell Beckham Jr. say on the plane?
Before his interaction with the passenger was leaked, reports said Odell Beckham Jr. was escorted off the plane. The whole video had fans questioning his behavior. Apparently, Beckham was angered after a passenger asked him to get off.
"You're everything wrong with the world," Beckham can be heard saying. "Looking at me to get off a plane, for you. I would never, ever in my life get off the plane for you. Specifically you. Maybe everybody else, I would get off the plane."
He went on to aggravate it further, bringing in a private plane:
"You gon' wait 40 minutes and I'm going to be on a private plane home. Yeah, with your fat ass. Get your ass off the plane for a second."
With the situation likely to escalate, Odell Beckham Jr. was escorted off. Beckham added that this had never happened to him before and was ultimately seen leaving while surrounded by guards.
Though this might just be an incident for the star athlete, it could end up affecting his chances at signing with a team. Whether Beckham's viral video has hurt his chances of playing in the NFL remains to be seen, but it certainly hasn't helped.
