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."

You Got nerve calling a great group of people dressed in leathers loser bikers….Who are you to judge….Are you God?…no didnt think so.What you have let your lips rip off is damning and a hurtful action…Before you let your mouth overload your ass you need to do the home work as to what bikers do, and do out of compassion and do it cause they want to, not because we seeking attention.This comment is gonna turn around and bite you in the ass and its no ones fault but your own, because your a loose lip winer/ drunk…i have 4 words for you ….SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE….looking for a PUBLIC APOLOGY. signed a woman (loser) on wheels ..Lana AKA bikerbabe
I’m guessing that you may know that those of us that you are calling losers dressed in leather raise more money and give more money to causes and charities than any other organization in the country. With that being said I’m proud to be that kind of LOSER
i won’t necessarily lower myself to their level and call names, but the majority of the biker nation is and will always be better class and quality people than they are or will be in their fake world. I don’t watch them anyway, and I for sure won’t now. I’m sure they, the news media, wouldn’t like it much if someone called them loser because one of them told a bad or false story, oh yeah, they did…….. Doug.
loser? Hoda and kathie lee are the losers!! I ride a HD roadking. I am a wife, mother and grandmother I am far from being a loser. I work supporting the National Guard. I raise money for St Judes and local charities. I have motorcycle friends that are real family. I am not the loser they are! Thank goodness I work during the day and don’t have to watch the losers on TV.
bikers Are always welcome My house.
Bikers give more to charities that actually do good (the money actually goes where needed) more than any other charities out there, you just don’t see it or here about it all the time cause that is the way we are, we are not out here to toot our own horn, we just do what we do and keep on doing it. Check out Legion Riders, Patriot Guard, B.A.C.A, or Riders With Hart, Crusaders For Kids, etc, etc.
