Bodycam footage was released on Wednesday regarding Odell Beckham Jr.’s plane incident. Since then, sports fans have been at odds about what transpired.
However, Beckham is calling out some videos that may be using deceptive practices to create a one-sided narrative.
The best thing to do is to watch the entire bodycam footage as it is. That way, you can formulate your own opinion on the situation, whatever that may be. Here is the full clip of what transpired on the plane.

Since then, many have formed their own opinions about the incident. Some point out the flight attendants acting a bit odd. Although they did seem concerned, there are definitely some questionable moments on their part. Additionally, the officers didn’t seem to think anything was wrong with Odell Beckham Jr. either.
Thanks to video editing tools, some are taking Beckham’s plane video and creating content of their own. However, it’s clear as day some are not sharing the entire clip and basing their opinions on certain aspects of the video. Here’s one example from Barstool Sports.

Odell Beckham Jr. clearly isn’t happy with these cut-up clips. And rightfully so. The video that Barstool shared, and the others similar to it, share a one-sided version of what happened on the plane. So, Odell Beckham Jr. hit social media to call it out.
My favorite least favorite thing about this worlds besides people who don’t kno what they’re talkin bout.. is we can cut up any video however we want to make it loook exactly how we want GOOD or BAD. Funny world we live in . No 🧢

Someone could just as easily create a video to paint Beckham Jr. as the ultimate good guy as well, which he hints at in his tweet. He’s probably not 100% in the right, but it was a weird occurrence all around. Either way, the lesson to learn here is to just watch the full clip for yourself. That goes for pretty much all news sources.
