By now you’ve probably seen the video of a United Airlines passenger getting forcibly dragged off of a flight. The whole thing was jarring, and somehow, United has made itself look worse and worse as the hours have passed since the video hit the internet.
It hasn’t helped that basically everyone has gone out of their way to shred United on social media. Among those who have had the most fun is Browns lineman Joe Thomas, who was especially taken aback at the company’s CEO’s statement on the incident which said “I apologize for having to re-accommodate these customers.”
"…having to re-accommodate?" That's what we're calling it? https://t.co/KotBnQYpF5

Thomas also joked around by saying that, if this is re-accommodating someone, he re-accommodates people every Sunday.

Former Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins decided to get in on the fun, saying that he remembers the time he was re-accommodated by Josh Norman.
Lol @joethomas73 . I remember @J_No24 "re-accommodated" me once. @united pic.twitter.com/nQfg7OCqUr

After thinking it over a little, Thomas decided to make a poll and let Twitter decide on what would be worse: Getting “re-accommodated” by United or getting trucked by The Rock. By almost an 80/20 margin, people would prefer to get their stuff wrecked by The Brahma Bull.
Would you rather be…

Basically, if you thought United’s “re-accomodate” line was garbage, don’t worry, so did Joe Thomas.
