Brendan Langley's Lawyer Alleges Airport Worker Challenged Ex-NFL Player to Fight

The lawyer for former NFL cornerback Brendan Langley provided context to a fight at an airport from his client's perspective.

Alan Jackson, who is Langley's attorney, said a United Airlines employee at Newark Liberty International Airport initiated the fight by harassing the cornerback and calling him names. That, according to Jackson, prompted Langley to defend himself, per TMZ Sports.

"Brendan Langley was minding his business walking through the airport with his bags when he was accosted by a United Airlines employee who claimed to 'run the airport,'" Jackson said. "When Brendan tried to ignore him, the assailant followed and harassed Brendan, calling him a 'd---' and a 'p---y' and challenging him to fight.
