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 1 year ago

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

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Corngood@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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 9 points 1 year ago

Palestinians

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

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago

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 10 points 1 year ago

Archive it all.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 43 points 1 year ago

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.

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

Gotta replace the fluoride with something.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago
[-] CobraChicken3000@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

What an ass.

[-] johnefrancis@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Is there more context for this?

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

Rich people are often cunts.

[-] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 year ago

Often is a weird way of spelling always

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 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

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 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.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

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

Well he already wants to turn it into a resort.

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

when bigotry is your entire identity. hideous.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 26 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

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
