Disney CEO Bob Iger has lashed out at Florida's Republican governor in an ongoing public battle between the entertainment company and the state.
He said that Mr DeSantis "got very angry about the position Disney took", referring to the company's objection to the state's Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill. "It seems like he's decided to retaliate against us, including the naming of a new board to oversee the property and the business, in effect to seek to punish a company for its exercise of a constitutional right," Mr Iger said.
And he’s anti-Disney
Wouldn’t it have just been smarter not take a stand on any sexuality issues? Now look where this has led to, a ton more taxes than you were entitled to not have to pay, and the further loss of business now that you have attacked DeSantis. Time to change your management style.
Disney is just a woke joke theses days.
I agree with holding companies to account for their actions and developments and be refused inappropriate expansion
Disney will be throwing lots of money at Fredo's opponents and will be making even more 'woke' content than ever before.
Ya mean Desantis calls you woke and you will go broke!!!
“a company has a right to freedom of speech just like individuals do” A company hasn’t got an opinion on anything, it’s just the people in charge giving theirs
Well he’s the dude that hired Markle to do that gawd awful elephant thing, so he’s down two strikes in my book now.
I would think the gun issue is going to affect attendance at Disney world.
He’s far from anti business- he’s anti woke , grooming, race baiting etc - Disney had a sweetheart deal for a very long time- they ducked up - they picked the wrong side in the wrong state ! Cost them 100s of millions-he gave them a chance -Sucks for them - deal with it …
He’s just anti pedophile. Most people don’t get pedophilia and business confused, Iger.
Disney has forgotten it is for the kids. It has become a political entity. Thus killing the magic it once held. Thank you to the the current tyrant who is running pushing his private perverted agenda.
'Knocks'....yet Musk removing the New York Time's blue check for not paying is an 'attack'. It's pretty obvious the BBC's American content is outsourced to the Democratic Party. DefundTheBBC
