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 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year 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 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Palestinians

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

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.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year 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 year ago (2 children)

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

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

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

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

Yep, it's on the CDC's top ten public health success list. I moved to a different town in my 20s that only started adding fluoride ten years prior. A dental hygienist recently told me she could tell I wasn't originally from the area because my teeth were too good for someone my age that grew up here.

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 year ago

What an ass.

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

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

Well he already wants to turn it into a resort.

Is there more context for this?

Rich people are often cunts.

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

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

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

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

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.

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

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

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

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

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

[–] LiveLoveLaff@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My only regret in this ordeal, is that one of these two organizations has to win.

... and I unironically picked FLA last year to win it all after the first round.
