The Giants fan who says he was booed at Lincoln Financial Field for wearing a Nebraska beanie responded to our accusations that he is a liar. Guy’s name is “Justin Penik” and he’s with Jomboy Media. Here’s the original TikTok, followed by his statement:

“I don’t understand why people think he’s lying, because he showed up with a cameraman in neutral clothes. They knew he was a Giants fan. They heard him say he was a Giants fan.”

Oh yeah? That seems important. Maybe this key detail should have been included in the original clip, which went viral and is fully transcribed here:

“I was not glad that I went to Philly. So I didn’t wear any Giants stuff. I’ll admit I was a fraud. I could have easily just put a Talkin’ Giants sweatshirt on. I didn’t even do that. I put a St. Peter’s Prep sweatshirt on. I had a big jacket. But I had a Nebraska hat. And oh my God, from the moment I sat down, and they saw that I had Nebraska on, ‘what the hell’s Nebraska, they’re bad, who’s that quarterback, Dylan Raiola, he’s such a bleep.’ They went on and on and on and it didn’t freakin’ stop and I’m like, I didn’t wear Giants stuff, thinking that’s gonna be the smart move. Lo and behold I wear a Nebraska Cornhuskers hat and it started, got berated. I’m never going back there ever again, unless I get paid.”

Nowhere in the original video does he say that the people around him knew he was a Giants fan. I’m sure it was mentioned in whatever podcast was clipped to make the TikTok video, but it’s not included in the clip itself, which falsely leads people to believe he was being ripped by Eagles fans for wearing Nebraska gear. Then he posts another clip on social showing the weakest trash talk I’ve ever seen:

So Penik is not a liar. He is a misleader, and these New York guys gotta clean it up. It’s sloppy. You wanna play the content game, let’s play the content game. Farm for engagement, but let’s harvest some factual crops. Let’s make sure we’re telling the full story. And if you’re a Giants fan at Lincoln Financial Field, then yeah, you’re gonna get booed. Nothing crazy though. This isn’t like San Francisco, where the lower life scumbags stab each other at burger joints.
