Girls Team Sues After Flight Incident | Baltimore News

Sixteen passengers, including young athletes from the DMV Prime Elite flag football team, are preparing to sue Sun Country Airlines after a flight attendant allegedly made racist remarks and tried to snatch a phone during their return from the Junior Olympics. The incident, which escalated when a player switched seats to keep her team together — a move previously allowed — has gone viral with millions of views. The team says the experience was humiliating and undermined their hard-earned achievements. Their attorney claims this isn’t the first time Riegelman or the airline have faced similar complaints. Though assault charges were dropped, the civil rights suit seeks damages, staff accountability, and systemic change. Sun Country says it’s investigating and has refunded affected passengers’ tickets. The lawsuit is set to file next week.
