    Former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis found himself on the wrong side of the headlines on Saturday, though it has been determined it was in error.

    Davis had an incident aboard a United Airlines flight on Saturday. He took to Instagram to describe what transpired. Davis was removed in handcuffs when the plane landed. According to multiple reports, it was determined that he had done nothing wrong and United later issued an apology .

    Davis, the MVP of Super Bowl XXXII and one of the best players in Broncos history is looking for an investigation into the incident , alleging misconduct.

    Terrell Davis wrongfully removed from flight

    "During the beverage service, my son politely requested a cup of ice. The flight attendant either didn't hear or ignored his request and continued past our row. I calmly reached behind me and lightly tapped his arm to get his attention to again ask for a cup of ice for my son. His response and the events that followed should stun all of us"

    Davis went on to explain what happened further but made his displeasure clear:

    "I was -- and remain -- humiliated, embarrassed, powerless and angry. During questioning, it was rightfully determined by the agents that this flight attendant was inaccurate in his accusations, and the agents profusely apologized, even offering to support me and my family in any way possible. I have yet to hear anything from United Airlines. The traumatizing experience of my two sons, my daughter and my wife watching me being placed in handcuffs -- without due process or explanation -- cannot be undone."

    It's an unfortunate situation for the Hall-of-Fame running back to have been a part of, and it sounds like we may not have heard the last of it.
