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

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.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 19 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

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

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

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

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

Floridaman moment

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] ferretfacefrankburns@lemmy.ca 23 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

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

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

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 7 points 7 hours ago

Palestinians

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

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 22 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours 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 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 55 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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 8 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 37 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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 33 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 36 minutes ago

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 24 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours 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.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 hours ago

Archive it all.

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 9 hours ago

What an ass.

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 8 hours ago

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours 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.

[–] johnefrancis@lemmy.ca 11 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Is there more context for this?

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 51 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Rich people are often cunts.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 8 hours ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 8 hours 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.
