Attempt to spread fake news about Vikings, homeless backfires on Mpls man

Attempt to spread fake news about Vikings, homeless backfires on Mpls man

Jake Nyberg, a writer and interactive marketer in Minneapolis, apparently wanted to embarrass the Minnesota Vikings and force the team to deny they would help homeless people. So he started a rumor on Twitter that they were providing shelter in the new stadium, hoping the fake news would spread and force the team to appear to turn its backs on homeless people. Funny stuff, indeed.
