Yes, the Real Sociedad is a Basque football team from San Sebastian and it's a premier league team as well. I'm not sure why you saw such a large group dressed in their uniform. Mystery!

Just reading through your stressful time at JFK brought back nightmare memories of a similar situation we went through there some years ago. We just never ever fly through JFK any longer. Too much stress!
I'm glad you got where you needed to go eventually but man...that was a bad time for you.

I wonder if it was some outreach auxiliary or something, it definitely wasn't just fans wearing the uniform, it was a bunch of young men all wearing the complete uniform and one or two older coach-like adults.

Yikes at all your travel drama! Glad you had your dad to help with things and finally arrived safely.
