Amarillo Police boarded the plane and removed six passengers described as “unruly”
Members of a San Diego-based recreational soccer league were removed from a cross-country flight Monday and arrested on suspicion of federal charges.
A dozen members of the San Diego Chaldean Soccer League were flying Southwest Airlines to Chicago’s Midway Airport for a tournament, friends tell NBC 7.
A "level one threat" was declared onboard Flight 1522 and prompted pilots to divert the flight and its 117 passengers to Amarillo, Texas, just after 10 p.m., according to court documents.
Southwest Airlines said in a statement that “several passengers traveling together became disorderly” and “refused to obey instructions from the crew.”

You won’t see this from rugby players. Soccer players are amateur drinkers.

San Diego? Soccer? Here I was expecting just the "immigrants" as posted in #2. Nope, it's even worse, I guess....
Southwest does it again!

Sounds like 99 lashes each would be appropriate and culturally sensitive.

Not sure. They were from the Chaldean league and there is a Chaldean Catholic church. Not clear, yet. But keep your ears open for telltale words, “Allah” or “infidels”.

I looked at a long roster of players....not a Mohammad nor Ackmed amongst them.

This is why we must teach kids soccer instead of baseball.

Actually very likely Middle Eastern Christians.

Chaldeans are Christians originally from Iraq. There are thousands of them in San Diego, mostly in east county.
