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 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

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

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 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week 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 8 points 1 week ago

Palestinians

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

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

My imagination hurts now

That was work

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 37 points 1 week 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 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 9 points 1 week 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 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week 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 12 points 1 week ago

What an ass.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week 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 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

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

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

Well he already wants to turn it into a resort.

Is there more context for this?

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rich people are often cunts.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 1 week 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.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 1 week ago

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] sommerset@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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
