Woman Kept Off American Airlines Plane For Allegedly Offensive Shirt

29. She made her choice, they made their choice

She didn't have to wear that particular t-shirt to fly. Plain t-shirt would've been just fine, and she would've gotten to where she was going on time. I'm guessing she has a few other shirts she could've worn before packing and leaving for the airport. She loved the offensive language, made a conscious choice to wear the shirt, but then makes an issue out of it when someone else finds it "offensive", and doesn't apologize for wearing it. No need to apologize for it, since she's free to wear the shirt, but if there are any non-violent consequences for wearing a shirt she herself described as offensive, then you live with it. There's no complaining that you missed your connecting flight. That's on her and her conscious choice.

The airline didn't have to make a big deal out of the shirt either, but they did. A simple plain t-shirt to fly fixes the whole problem though.

Edit: Sen. Judy McIntyre loved the offensive language and didn't apologize for it. Not the woman on the plane. My mistake. Still, a boring plain t-shirt gets you where you're going on time.
