Would you have taken the $1,500 to switch seats?
In many respects, being a 6-foot-5, 245-pound elite athlete has it benefits. You can play in the NFL. You get to be famous. You have a ton of money. That’s all cool, but sitting in airplanes — particularly in coach — will never be comfortable.A video hit Twitter this weekend showing the Panthers quarterback onboard a flight to Paris — a 10-hour flight.
To the surprise of Newton, that offer was turned down. He had to disappointedly make his way back to his aisle seat with limited legroom. I have so many thoughts on this, but I do know that there was no way I’m turning down that offer. Newton was essentially offering to pick up the cost of this guy’s roundtrip flight just for a few more inches of legroom. As someone standing at 5-foot-10, that’s an easy decision and easy money.
I don’t think this passenger thought that one through — I mean, at least negotiate with Newton. Maybe you’d switch for $2,000? That’s such a missed opportunity.So, there was that.
