NBC Host Calls Leather Clad Bikers "Losers"

(see her retraction at the end of this story)
NBC’s Hoda Kotb pissed off a lot of leather-wearing motorcycle riding enthusiasts with an offhand comment about the time she and Kathie Lee Gifford went to a biker bar, called Alabama Jacks in 2013. “We dressed in leather, like a couple of losers really, like at the biker bar,” Kotb said. Alabama Jacks is located in Key Largo Florida and is a frequent hangout of locals and motorcycle riders.
Bikers took their anger to the Facebook page for the show writing, “Saw the comments made about dressing up like losers in leather and going to Alabama Jacks. You just lost a loser in leather for rating ladies…have fun in your plastic, fake Barbie world!” Another wrote, "I am seriously offended at Hoda's reference to dressing in leather and going to a biker bar as "dressing as losers". Obviously, she needs to get her head out of her dressing room and look at the facts. We are lawyers, doctors, secretaries, mechanics, military, police, college graduates, mothers, and fathers."

Your mothers must be so disappointed in you. Your families embarrassed. What a shame, your both attractive, mature women, yet so ignorant.

Dear Hoda I am a biker loser that does bike ride for falling law enforcement officer, Wounded Warriors, & Toys for tots. That is far from being a loser Ma’am. You are what I call a loser we even give to breast cancer !!! (THANK YOU) for judging us. “Who gave you power over GOD to judge”!!!
Not sure she was referring to Bikers being “Losers”, rather herself and tag along… no reason to get your leathers in a wad. after all it’s Hoda.
She needs to publicly apologize to the biker community and then do some research Bikers raise more money for other organizations stand at fallen hero’s graves and Welcome home those that get to come home safely We Work with our politicians in State and Washington to Protect our rights we are doctors lawyers and hard working people that are always there to give our hearts and souls to help someone in need SHAME ON YOU for your comment
