You know, I read that yesterday and if it happened that's 100% uncalled for. But I have my doubts about the veracity. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:23 11
- If he were a reporter I think I'd believe him. I got very leery when I got to the "is an attorney and director of the Advocates for Human Rights’ Refugee and Immigrant Program" part. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:46 1
  - I would also believe him if he said he was asked if he were "Syrian", "Muslim" or "a terrorist". "Refugee" is mighty convenient for his cause. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:48
- Of course it happened. It's in the midwest. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 06:31
- Hm. Vikings say they didn't know about it until they read the op-ed and have reached out to the guy. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:29 7
  - That's part of my skepticism--he says he reported it to security, but security says they were unaware until the op-ed. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:34 6
    - Security is employed by UM, though, right? -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:42 1
      - No, security at the Vikings games is provided by Vikings/NFL. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:44
    - maybe the security guard that handled it didn't feel he needed to file a report, since no action was taken? -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:41 3
      - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:42 2
        
        I guess your gut didn't think that far. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:53 1
        
        I have no idea what security procedures are. For a host of other reasons, I'm reserving doubt the incident happened at all. -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:56
