Man Denied First-Class Seat Because His Tracksuit Was "Too Casual" (VIDEO)

As MyFoxAtlanta.com reports, a Maryland man claims a United Airlines gate agent refused to let him take his seat in first class because his outfit, a Puma tracksuit, didn't meet the dress code.

Not surprisingly, Alvarez was incensed.
