More incomprehensible flailing that, on the surface, makes them look ignorant or incompetent. If they win at the Federal level, a state suit is unnecessary, and if they lose at the federal level, a state suit is moot, so what's their play here?
  • They somehow genuinely think that a win at the state level has some bearing on the outcome regardless of the federal case
  • They think that if they get a crony state judge to rush through a judgement in their favor before the federal case is heard, it gives them more leverage
  • They're panicking and just throwing everything they can at the wall, even if they know it won't work.
  • It's more of the governor's table-banging tantrum
  • It's all just political theater (or "theatre" for the Brits, Canucks, & Aussies)
  • Some combination of the above

I’m very impatiently waiting to read the complaint. Hopefully it is filed soon.

I would think

1. They’re happy to find more ways to spend Disney’s money and
2. DeSantis needs good press / to look strong as he’s about to announce a presidential bid while his numbers are tanking and everyone is taking shots at him over this

This has all become such a circus with lots of clowns. It’s a shame Iger couldn’t have just tried to meet with DeSantis after Chapek left and tried to patch it up and blame it all on him like he did other things.

I’m afraid this is all going to get worse before it gets better

The onus was never on Iger. The blame lies squarely and solely with one man and his cronies.

Not sure what you mean. The problem was the released statement by Disney against the don't say gay law, was what triggered the Gov. and created this mess.

TWDC should have kept quiet and worked behind the scenes to work to get the don't say gay law changed. This would not have happened overnight, but it would have happened.

This was all a stunt to try and raise campaign/PAC money from rubes…

There was never any legitimacy to this…whatsoever. Eventually the original “law” will be struck down as discriminatory…possibly child endangerment now…meaning there’s nothing there either.

You suggestion implies there was ever any path to “discussion”. It’s impossible.

You don’t stop and take a nap when your house is on fire.

The “fire” is Florida here…to be clear

I tried to buy outdoor ads like that during the 2022 gubernatorial election to run in certain districts of South Florida.

I couldn't find a single company willing to give me the space.

They’re like boom and ex-union guys now…the anger has grown just so high as the actual reasons have diminished that they’ve rotated 180 degrees and attacked their original stance to keep it going

Disney should run ads in Florida juxtaposing DeSantis with Fidel Castro.

That would be a large escalation by Disney. As generally risk adverse and more politically neutral, I do not expect to see Disney do this.

However, from the outside where I don't have to worry about any repercussions or running a business, it would be interesting to see.

At some point, the existential threat will overcome the risk aversion. Combined with a question of general timing to the calendar. When that happens, it's not like Disney has the resources of a multi national mega corporation and multiple media outlets that can be leveraged directly against a political figure to show them in a bad light. Wait, it's exactly that, and they have chosen not to so far.

No matter what happens in the case. DeSantis changed the law enabling him to be governor while he runs.

Disney and DeSantis have to co-exist for his term…unfortunately.
