Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off an airplane while trying to fly from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday morning, according to a report.

Beckham was flying commercial on an American Airlines flight Sunday morning and headed to LA. According to FOX Sports 640’s Andy Slater, Beckham was “in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t put on his seat belt” prior to the flight.

Slater says the flight was delayed after Beckham refused to leave.

One of the people who recorded a video of the situation wrote an unhappy note to Beckham.

“Forcing us off the plane because you were unresponsive and unruly is not comedy to the hundreds of folks trying to get home dude. Not cool man,” the man wrote.

Another passenger recognized Beckham and wondered on Twitter what happened.
