Terrell Owens, retired NFL WR was recently involved in an argument with a woman who claimed that the 48-year-old was harassing her. Owens recorded the whole incident live on social media.
The racial confrontation began when the woman accused Owens of running a stop sign and nearly hitting her with his car. She called the police when Owens got out of the car to speak to her.
In the video, the woman can be heard saying “You didn’t have to get out of your f—ing car. You’re a Black man approaching a White woman.”
The accuser called the police and complained that the former 49er, Eagle and Cowboy was harassing her and trying to intimidate her.

”You never know how that situation could’ve turned.””I could’ve died”: Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens believes he could’ve died if the wrong type of cops came out as racial discrimination is still prevalent in some states of America.
“I could’ve died,” he said. “Honestly, I could have died and the storyline would be totally different.”“If the wrong type of cops came out, if they got the wrong type of information,”. “Her, you saw the video, she started crying, you never know how that situation could’ve turned.”
The former All-Pro was involved in a situation that could have been worse. Though the police were helpful and carried out a thourogh investigation before coming to any conclusion.
The Hall of Famer believes that it’s not just him, many people are being discriminated just because of the colour of their skin. A bit unfair, isn’t it?
Owens wants to create awareness about this incident and is successful because he recorded the whole incident on his phone and later uploaded it on social media.
The 48 year old further asked Florida’s Attorney General to further look into the situation.
“I’m hoping the people here in Florida, they’re monitoring what has transpired,” Owens said. “I’m hoping that maybe she can get on this and see what can be done because like I said this could’ve turned really, really bad and like I said, this could’ve been a situation where you guys may not have been talking to me live here today, but been talking about me in another way.”
From reading the reports, it can be concluded that Owens is terrified and surprised with just reactions just because the colour of his skin is different. As much as we say that we’ve abolished racial discrimination, it’s still prevalent in some parts where people believe old stories and are not educated enough.
