Absolutely disgusting tweet by the owner of the Florida Panthers. Here is more context.

It's nice that FloridaMan had time to reveal his inner racist. Maybe he can understand why Canada wouldn't touch his state with a 10 metre pole.

[–] ElJefe@lemm.ee 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The metre pole detail is just mmm! chef’s kiss

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For the Americans 10 meters is roughly 37 Subway "footlongs".

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Now I'm thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well, with America's current lack of regulation? I'd expect to see that soon! Or companies charging more for the actual spec.

Annnnnd just like that I care about the Leafs in the playoffs, now. I really hope we can make that man sadder.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Totally predicable for the past 60 years, news?

Yeah, the Palestinians are Semites. If anyone is antisemitic, it's the Zionist colonists who came from Europe. People don't have beef with Judaism or Israel in this case. They have a beef with genocidal Zionists.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Palestinians

Read this as panthers. Was confused how puma concolor was semitic for a few beats.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 51 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Imagine being that rich and still tweeting like a 14 year old CoD player

When this whole fucking thing backfires and we end up with a communist revolution, there's going to be a lot of people in a real big hurry to delete their xitter accounts.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 39 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah that's not gonna happen. It's gonna be a few decades of fascism and then back to neoliberals.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, a guy can cope, okay?

We're not going to get that far, though. We've got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We're just gonna plug our ears and yell "la la la can't hear you" while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.

Don't be ludicrous, the climate will collapse before the neoliberals rebuild their power structures.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

Archive it all.

Additional context: "He's said to be at the heart of a stolen $400m pension fund."

This shit is why y'all need to stop caring what fascists tweet and pay more attention to what they do.

[–] ferretfacefrankburns@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Do they add meth to the water supply in Florida? Yikes.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe too much fluoride, that's why they're so developmentally challenged over there.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In my 20s I was very skeptical of fluoride in the water supply(even then conspiracy theories were prevelant), 30 yrs later, I think it has MORE than proven its efficacy

Maybe it’s Viking blood in me or something, but I really want this man afraid to show his face in my country…

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

What an ass.

[–] johnefrancis@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Is there more context for this?

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Rich people are often cunts.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 weeks ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

The only recent news I'm aware of where the words Israel and Toronto are relevant is university of Toronto faculty voting to divest from Israel, but something tells me this guy isn't one to keep up with news from academia.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Real question. Even though I'm certain it's just projection. Where did the anti semite thing come from?

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

OP added a link above. Here's a screenshot of the start of it on X.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Probably the post/comment he replied to that upset him.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We need to somehow get it into Donald's head that Israel should be the 51st state.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well he already wants to turn it into a resort.

That's not the owner of the Panthers according to Wikipedia, but absolutely disgusting nonetheless.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

This is the Florida Panthers Vice Chairman, Partner and Alternate Governor, Doug Cifu, talking shit to a Maple Leafs fan last night.

He's part of the board of the company that owns it.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And the NHL is coming down on him, and his account is now deleted lol

Ive heard that trump is really pissed at Israel for breaking peace now. Real falling out with Netaniahu.

To the point he now signed peace with houthis just for US and left them to attack Israeli ships.

And that Hamas is now working direct with US and Trump will recognize Palestine as independent state. All because Israel violated peace agreement Trump brokered and now wants to take over the rest of the Palestine

Someone tell him to stop swimming in the water when Redtide is happening
