UD Not a Fan of DeSantis Embarrassing the State of Florida

Love UD and respect his opinion. He is not going to get very far with this one imo. The nba is woke as heck. And I had no idea Wade's daughter identifies as transgender. This is just UD being sensitive to an issue that the vast majority prefer not be discussed it appears. But if it is pushed on them to be discussed. They will side with DeSantis.

 

Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.

 

Living proof that this board and politics in general has become simply about teams.

 

I don’t. Fans are stupid.

 

No. In fact I’m struggling to come up with a reason why I would care in the slightest what a random out-of-state NBA fan thinks about Florida politics.

 

Yes, if you are a Gator sports fan you're supposed to know.

 

Not my concern. And, in any event, I’m fairly certain the guy at an NBA game yelling “your Republican state leadership sucks!” at basketball players probably aren’t the target electorate.

If I go to a game involving the 49ers or Warriors and yell “California is a nanny-state crap hole that intentionally tries to make life difficult for conservatives!,” (putting aside why anyone would possibly think yelling about politics to athletes is in any way constructive), I’m equally sure no elected California leaders would care either.

 

Florida is the laughing stock of the nation. I hear people trashing Florida all the time. I used to defend Florida, but now I have nothing to say. There's just no defense. It's very sad.

 

Looks like Udonis is not alone:

 

Yeah like all the fools outside at the beach 100ft from anyone maskless, I remember the headlines….

 

Go figure why so many people with money keep moving here driving up the cost of housing….

 

weather, open space, beaches, golf, fishing, bankruptcy laws, no state income taxes

it isn't because of the politics

 

Not saying it was, but if they were so disapproving of the politics would they still come?

 

note that these big political shifts have just hit the fan in the last 3- 4 (?) months as desi tries to claim the nomination

 

Perhaps.

I for one will be fine if people stop moving here.

 

Perhaps UD should spend more of his time, resources and connections finding an opponent that doesn't lose to Ron DeSantis by 20%.
