Flight crew said the NFL WR was in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t put on his seat belt, I’m told.
The Los Angeles bound flight was delayed after Beckham refused to leave making everybody get off.

Beckham apparently refused to put on his seatbelt and the entire plane had to be emptied. Here's video.
