Last that I checked, I don't own Disney. DeSantis retaliated against his state's largest employer for pushing back against his intolerance. The state made the judgement years ago to grant the special district to Disney to persuade them not to build elsewhere. The state has benefited many times over in terms of revenue, investment and population growth. I am old enough to remember Orlando before Disney, when it was essentially a place to stop for gas between Tampa and Miami.

DeSantis uses government to retaliate against anyone with a contrary opinion. That much isn't even debatable.
-
I can't possibly top such an informed and intellectual response as that.

The state extended that to Disney in order to get them to build there. DeSantis ended it because they dared to have an opinion contrary to his. It was grandstanding over a personal feud that has now dumped costs that Disney had been covering onto a community that is not fiscally prepared to cover them. But hey, at least Ron got to own the libs and woke Disney.

They love criticizing others for what they are doing. DeSantis cares only about making his opinion the law of the land. It rings a little hollow when a graduate of Harvard and Yale moans about the "liberal elites".

That would require me to either retain DirecTV or switch to Cox Cable, neither of which is happening. It also requires an extra cost sports package above and beyond the base subscription. -
I also notice that Ohtani's legal team says that this matter was turned over "to the authorities", but no law enforcement agency that would possibly have jurisdiction in the matter has received any complaint. My guess is that nobody is investigating this at all, because Ohtani's hands would be found to be all over it if it were thoroughly investigated.

I'm not buying for an instant that Ippei took $4.5M out of Shohei's bank account without him knowing. In order for that to happen: 1. Ohtani would have had to set up his account so that Ippei was an authorized user, which makes no sense. 2. Alternately, Ippei would have had to somehow get the password for Ohtani's online account. Even presuming that this happened, most banks will alert the account holder through text and/or email of any large transactions involving his or her account. I also can't buy that Ippei took out $500K nine or ten times without Ohtani's knowledge. Possibly after the first transfer and definitely after the second one, the bank would have directly called Ohtani and said hey, we have noticed very large transactions on your account. Were they yours? Knowing how banks work, those funds would not have been released without direct approval from Ohtani.

It went into hiding a bit when Ron DeSantis and his nonsensical culture war exited the presidential race. I have to chuckle when I see someone throw out the label Marxist. Odds are that the person using it equates socialism with communism, and makes no distinction between the two. Ironic that it is Republicans who throw it around, while their would-be king can't keep his hand out of Vladimir Putin's pants.

I just want to know how every team within 500 miles got to claim Las Vegas as a home market. -

I haven't heard. I just dropped DirecTV, so with it goes the Angels broadcasts, as well as the Dodgers, Giants, A's, Padres and D-Backs. -

Which would be great news if I wasn't in a six team blackout area. -
Ted Turner used to pay big money to players who he personally liked, with the belief that it would cause them to produce more. The Braves were generally terrible, wasting the most productive years of Dale Murphy (who I firmly believe would be in the HOF if he wasn't continually being pitched around because of a lack of talent around him). He turned things over to his baseball people and quit meddling. Within four years they won the first of 14 consecutive division titles.
