Langley was charged with simple assault and his Canadian Football League team, the Calgary Stampeders, suspended him, according to CTV News.

“The Stampeders take matters such as these very seriously,” Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel said in a statement, according to CTV News.

“After learning details of the incident including the filing of a criminal charge, we are indefinitely suspending Brendan Langley,” the statement continued.

Head coach Dave Dickenson said the team was not knowledgeable about the charges against Langley.

“But we found out like a lot of other people and my only real comment is that we live in a world that everybody’s got cameras and we’re trying to represent our city, we take it very seriously,” Dickenson said, CTV News reports.

United Airlines has since terminated the unidentified employee.

“United Ground Express informed us that the employee has been terminated,” an airline representative told the New York Post.

Langley later took to Twitter to post about the incident.

“yall aint off the hook… worst customer experience in the entirety of my life on Heaven!!!!” he wrote.
