Well that's a hell of a thing to read.

Florida, Gina, the various franchises.

Disney, wtf are you doing? You are literally splitting your audience in half. Mind numbingly stupid, but most of the board members don’t even own many shares of the company, so there ya go.

This is interesting.
Hopefully Disney loses. Big corpos need to know their place.

And even if they don't, this will surely be ugly and embarrassing for them. Having to answer stuff like, why did Gina lose her job for posting memes about WWII vs. today's political climate while guys like Pedro Pascal are free and clear for saying Trump is actual Hitler, and so on.

The bottom isn't even remotely done falling out for Disney. So far we their admissions of detrimental agenda-policy, their ongoing financial disaster reports (they are currently in such a large loss that it could be compared to as if all of Epcot Center was destroyed, unrecoverable and uninsured), and the social ramifications are now underway with this Carano thing the tip of the iceberg.

Because Trump is very similar to Hitler in words and actions (pre Holocaust).

Anyhoooooow... conservatives are snowflakes for wanting everything the way it used to be (which often wasn't better), and the woke left is going batshit over anything they don't agree with. It's going to be an interesting action because when you're employed by a company, you represent the company, and if what you post doesn't fall in line with the company narrative... it isn't just Disney, it's pretty much most companies in the world. So any potential judgement could have implications for the future elsewhere re my point above.

Funded by the owner of Twitter, I mean X, that shuts down speech in general too, but that's a private platform, their rules, you play by them even if you don't agree. Don't agree, go somewhere else.

Holy mother of all brainrots.

Find a doctor. Touch grass. Cut down Internet connection.

Just like right now, before you become another TDS retard, if you are not on your way to this state already.

If your company allows to do deranged statements which can be born only in a deranged mind of a retard living in the ivory tower, surrounded by cushy luxuries, disconnected from the outside world, than this company is trash and should burn.

And it should not act like a colossal snowflake, when someone from the same company has a different opinion. Otherwise, into trash this company goes.

Also, if the statement was made on a personal account and does not violate the law, NDA or targets company itself, company has no right to interfere.

Yikes. Was about to say 'still would' until I noticed the background and looked up how she's looking nowadays.

So this is Gina Carano now, ahead of her fight with Ronda Rousey.



Seems fine, no?

From what I heard it was a blink and you miss it match. Then Ronda retired.

Gina didn't expect to be speared with a body tackle like that at the beginning. And honestly seconds before she was put in the armbar she was doing that "embarrassed smile" while on the ground.

She was prepared for a striking fight and the immediate grapple caught her off guard completely. I was rooting for Gina as a comeback story all the way, but Rousey just used skill and went in for the kill. Which honestly? Is authentic as hell in a real fight - put your opponent down very hard, very quickly and shut them down.

I hated that fight but respected the hell out of it. Honestly we were all sitting in my family room eager as hell but as soon as the armbar rolled over I actually said outloud "fight's over"; and by 18 seconds in everyone had the "open mouth, wtf" bewilderment going.

"Didn't expect". In other words, took a dive for her buddy so she could end her career with a win and make up for her loss that made her leave MMA in the first place.
