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.

The same reason why Clintons campaign manager was caught in an email yesterday wishing that the san bernandino shooter had an "american" name instead of a Muslim name. Everyone has an agenda in politics and using the shock factor gets the headline reading sheep on your side. Why else would he even post this? Right now most of the left Leaning sports media is of the opinion that kaepernick is allowed to do whatever he wants but anyone that questions him is a white guy that is probably a racist.

eball Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Do we really think this isn't true? Anyone who is honest about the general population of the greater Buffalo area knows it's as racist a region as anything down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
