QB Bills Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not sure if this has been posted here, but this hack Klemko was in Buffalo for the game on Sunday and reported hearing someone say "tackle the muslim" before a girl tackled a kaepernick dummy during the tailgating festivities. Problem for him is that there was video and nothing of the sort was said. And he has since deleted some tweets but is still sticking by his story, making this girl (and Bills fans by extension) look bad. And that fat walrus Peter King is sticking by his guy, regardless of the truth (https://twitter.com/SI_PeterKing/status/788196308855189504) The girl wrote an open letter to Klemko and it's worth the read. https://medium.com/@alexisdent/an-open-letter-to-robert-klemko-and-the-mmqb-team-bffff845a1a6#.blwxijvb3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to think. I hope that it's not true but it probably is. At the same time I feel for the people in the video as there is no evidence to support Klemko's recollection. It unfairly vilifies at least some of the people in the video. IMO, without the proof he probably would have been better off leaving that be.

Kirby Jackson Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just curious, why would you say it's probably true? Why would he make that up? I'm try to not be naive as to what happens in the parking lots. It doesn't seem (even a little) far-fetched to think that some drunk yelled that. He/she might have even said it in a joking tone (not that it makes it better). I don't necessarily believe that it was full of anger and rage. Klemko really doesn't benefit from making it up.

I love the part where she pwns him on verification from her past as a gossip columnist. GPS coordinates, multiple sources, and zoomed in to check for an identifying birthmark LOL!! I think she needs a lawyer to write him a little letter. I'm sure someone yelled it. But Klemko framed it as "watch this girl tackle the Kaepernick mockup after someone yelled TACKLE THE MUSLIM!" when in reality she probably didn't hear it at all. Let's be honest, there's all sorts of s..tuff being yelled and screamed in the lots and you just kind of tune out others when you're doing your own thing. Plus, if you read the young lady's open letter, she points out that she now has video people sent her of the moments leading up to her tackle and nothing of the sort is heard.

I lived in Georgia for four years, and I've lived in NC for the past 19. There is a significant racist/bigoted segment of the population in Buffalo. Perhaps the real (and sad) truth here is that the same can be said for just about anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants to assassinate Kap, and the sooner everyone drops this simple-minded concept, the sooner we can remember how much fun football used to be before we let the SJW reporters share their feelings with us.
