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."

Shame on you! Your ignorance is overwhelming and you have stepped on the toes and hearts of one of the most caring groups of people. Get a life and quit trying to be a "loser’. You already are one!
It is sad that people in media spots can bash any one they please, and people will fall for it.. They glorify her on TV, but we are losers. How sad.
Pity Th poor plastic people. Guarantee my leather clad ass has a whole lot more fun bein real.
My guess is she doesn’t realize the leather is for skin protection. Much like the condoms in Ho Hodas purse.
Maybe if she could get her nose out of that wine glass that always seems to be there, she just might be able to see all the good that us “losers” do for our communities.
