I am going on what was written in the article link below. let me start by saying the captain always has the final word on who can travel on his plane and if he wants to fly the plane. if he feels it is not safe he will refuse to take the flight.
Now I have seen people say stuff like Khabib is Russian, he is Muslim, blah blah blah. How I see it they asked him to change seats, I understand why you would want passenger fluent in English by the emergency exit. When shit hits the fan you want instructions followed fast, there can be lives at risk.
Okay no where did I read in that article that he was discriminated or talked to in a rude manner,they asked him to change his seat or leave the flight. I assume he chose to leave the flight as opposed top changing his seat.
Finally I think he handled it well too, he didn't become abusive or violent, he disembarked the flight.
I really do not see an issue here. I could make a joke. It's a joke don't get excited over it, What was a famous Russian doing on an Alaska Airlines flight, didn't he know Russia had sold Alaska to America
