Magic and Disney extend sponsorship/jersey deal:

The Disney logo will continue to appear on Orlando Magic players’ game jerseys, with Walt Disney World Resort and the Magic announcing today they’ve renewed their sponsorship agreement.

Good news . It's the ideal sponsor for the team.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Honestly we have the only sponsor in the league thats actually cool.

Trash. Gross.

Got a woke, child sexualization sponsor stitched on our jersey

Sexualization you ask? Google Lion King, Little Mermaid and Pinnochio. You’ll find boner castles & the world SEX fly away In the form of leaves.

Stop.

edit: Don't care about Disney slander (the justified kind), just the whole angle of "woke pedo cult" stuff borders on weird QAnon esque talking points.

Disney proudly embraced themselves as a woke company in 2019 after a speech made by a top level executive during a press conference after the D23 summit. (Nothing to do with QAnon-esque, just a fact)

Lion king spells out SEX.
Little Mermaid has a penis on the castle.
Hercules shows a penis head
(These are facts and can all be watched on video, it’s not pedo cult).

I’m LITERALLY speaking facts and you tell me to stop? WTF is wrong with the moderation of this board these days. Also, Please don’t bundle me in with weirdo Q people or Pedo Cult believers, I am neither of those. Thanks

[Optimus_Steel]

The meaning of "woke" has lost all its meaning lol. Something you don't like, oh it's woke lmao

And churches allow men to molest children.... and then cover it up. This isn't facebook.... or parlor... or truth social.

Anyway, I still hate sponsor logos on jerseys.

I can't believe I'm replying to this but I'm pretty sure "child sexualization" and "pedos" are pretty interchangeable, no? Either way, it's quite an accusation to levy. I won't touch the "wokeness" thing because it can either imply people being way too sensitive (which I agree with at times), or a blanket term for people being more accepting of marginalized groups (which shouldn't really be an issue with anyone.)

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-lion-king/ (it spells out S-F-X)
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/phallus-purposely-added-artwork-little-mermaid-vhs-cover/ (purely coincidental)

You can literally search up Snopes articles, whose sole purpose it is to debunk or confirm urban legends, rumors, conspiracies, etc, and doesn't really have skin in the game in terms of agreeing with a "side" or not. As they say... facts don't care about feelings. Even if this stuff were true, I'd find it hard pressed to really care when you have Adult Swim on a cartoon channel for kids or stuff like Ren & Stimpy and other shows on Nickelodeon, etc, throwing in very adult jokes at times because kids are going to catch those.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about the huge sex operation stings of Disney workers or the price hikes in tickets rather than someone on the animation team representing an entire industry in "child sexualization" for writing "SFX". I can see way more reasons to dislike Disney than hidden animation things that probably aren't what you think.

What’s your point and how does it relate to the OP?

[Ducklett]

I was going on to go on a rant about the weird guy that got blackballed for making iCarly do strange foot fetish stuff but that was Nickelodeon lol.

[MagicStarwipe]

Uhh woke.. uhh teaching transgender... uhh groomers... uhh critical race theory... uhh election fraud. Woo, sorry, got into a bit of a feedback loop there.

Magic & Disney extend sponsorship deal? Ok, fine I guess. I preferred the days when NBA jerseys didn't have 5,000 logos on them.

Disney will probably soon dip their feet out of woke culture when it starts to show on their yearly financial results. Especially because that agenda is superficial and nothing but virtue signaling.

Some of their latest movies had spectacular bombs at box office due their desire to shove agenda in product made for kids ( or just making flat out bad movies).
New Pinocchio was unwatchable garbage. Virtue signaling done with black actress being Blue Ferry, advertised in media, just to watch movie and figure she is hardly in a movie.

Lightyear replaced Tim Allen due different political pov, advertised lesbian couple ( that is again, hardly in a movie) , caused massive parental outrage ( rightfully so ) , and bombed in epic way at box office.

Little Mermaid has 2022 worst youtube likes- to dislikes ratio due their again- virtue signaling.



I don't care who's sponsor of a team, and most coorporate world is currupted evil anyway so might as well be disney.
It's not like having Nike logo and knowing people in factories are payed $1 a day to make those ,while being hypocrit who talks about human rights is very moral, yet every team does it.

Good points and a fair argument Pepe

Personally, I don't think having a black actress play a fish is virtue signaling. Virtue signaling is like.. boycotting or getting mad at certain companies for clout and following a trend (while ignoring the products they own or use that have partaken in similar things.)

People getting mad at a black actress playing a fish should be what is actually sad. Brandy and Whitney Houston played as black Cinderella and it didn't seem like that big of a deal in the 90s. It really should only be a big deal if the actress isn't good at acting, and they only did it for representation instead of putting a good movie or product out there.

And quite frankly, there's also a large amount of people in the world who are just... racist. Which, to me, is far worse than being "too woke". I can laugh at someone for being woke because it can become so hypocritical and over the top, while racism just makes me pity you.

[Flannerz]

Quite an apt sponsor as we've been mickey mouse since the Dwight trade.

[davey_wavy]

Meh. Just wished for a different sponsor logo once the Disney deal ended. Didn’t get my way. Oh well. Life goes on

[OrlDave]

We are called the Magic because of the city's connection with Disney. They make perfect sense as sponsors.

This is bit off basketball topic but whatever.

I don't think all that many people are actually racist. I think most people are boxed into "racist " category when opposite side lacks arguments so it's much easier to accuse somebody and let him defend against angry mass and throw dirt on their name .
Cancel culture is best evidence how toxic it is. Some person finds what 15 years old you posted on facebook during your half drunk rant about your class in 2008 and you get fired. Or even worst, leak private messages that you said something, probably in joke. Let's be 100% honest, we all have bit dark sense of humor at some age and you can dig dirt on just about anybody and ruin him or her. That doesn't make you bad person, it makes you human being. Fundementally flawed.

Vast majority of people don't give a crap about what other people do in their life, what they are belive in, what's skin of their color, what's their favorite band or who they bang during netflix & chill.

As far as Disney and virtue signaling goes, just random example.
So Disney owns Marvel and they had Thor Love and Thunder movie. Before movie premier Tessa Thompson and Natali Portman went on a record to call movie " super gay".
Okey.

Now, if you watched movie you will notice few things:
a) not a single character is actually gay
b) Valkyrie is allegedly bisexual, but it's played as throwaway scene
c) only sexuality in a movie that is played is Thor's boner for axe...???
d) Korge is "gay". Okey now this is important


This is definition of virtue signaling. Movie is sold as "so gay" but not a single character is gay, and one who is "gay" mentioned mom and sister in last movie ( ???) AND being gay means being in relationship you can't conceive offspring. But if your whole population is 100% of same speacies than being gay isn't what you are selling to certain media that it is. It serves no purpose but to get cheers from people that live in their imaginary twitter world where they think every second person is either gay, lesbian, or gender fluit. Spoiler alert, it's not. And even if it is, it's false advertisment and ...virtue signaling.

Personally, i don't give a damn if you gender or race swap character, but it gets little bit hilarious when you can see color of an actor and you know who is bad guy after 2 min ( spoiler: straight white guy ).
But it also feals very cheap for that exect reason. Don't you want to have orginal characters instad of just being recasted into something that was in past , historically, white character?

And that brings me to my last point. Disney , and Hollywood in general, but especially Disney, is creatively bunkrupt. There is no new ideas. There are no new characters. There are no new stories to be told. It's just remake after remake after remake.
Look in cinemas how many movies aren't remakes? 5 out of 50?
What was last time you saw movie that is $20M budget and has creative new story? No.Those movies are delited from existence.

Disney new movies;
Werewolf by night- remake
Wakanda - sequal
Guardians of the galaxy - sequal
Hocus pocus 2 - sequal ( after 3 decades? )
Disenchanted- sequal
Avatar -sequal
LIttle Mermaid- remake
Indiana Jones 5- both sequal and remake
Peter Pan- remake
Snow white- remake

And it's not like they don't have money or don't have creative people that can't make new things. It's just coorporate publishing of new contend , mediocre quality and pandering to whatever political party they feel is close to them.
Watch 1994 Lion King and tell me you didn't cry ( i did ) when you watched it when you were younger. Now watch that abomination from few years ago. It's like they took on orginal, trashed $150M dollars on it and ripped out heart of that movie for CGI that looks flawless..but also souless. Only way how you can cry on that movie is if you were unlucky to sit near screen at cinema and your brain couldn't zoom out

[OrlDave]

And it's not like they don't have money or don't have creative people that can't make new things.

Eh, you just don't care about the new stuff they make. For example since 2013 we've had Frozen, Big Hero 6, Inside Out, Zootopia, Moana, Coco, Soul, Raya and the Last Dragon and Encanto. All pretty good movies IMO.

Edit: Looked back further and it was Wreck-it-Ralph and Brave in 2012.
