Rest of tweet:
>I asked spox to clarify if donation should instead be attributed to owner Richard DeVos; response was “we don’t comment publicly on political contributions”

Magic fans does this feel different at all than owner contributions or about the same?

wonder if Jonathan Isaac matched
Curious…do the Magic need a new stadium?
They might as well have lit 50K on fire, Davos is big on “education reform” so it makes sense tho.
I have a reason to cheer against the magic that’s weird as hell
“Sees the name DeVos”
Oh. Fuck the Magic. Sell the team.
It’s kind of funny because despite the NBA’s public political image I’m pretty sure the vast majority of owner donations have gone to the GOP
Obviously this would be true of the DeVos family but it’s true across the entire league as well
Alas, it’s “fuck the Magic” from now on 🙁
Reddit will love this post
Desantis Kanye 2024 stickers gonna be a part of the Magic uniform
One has to admire the franchises commitment to losing
fuck the magic
all my homies hate the magic
the sub shocked and stunned today by who billionaires donate to and vote for
super unfair to the players on the team when garbage team owners do this shit
Shit sucks.
Such a weird dumb thing to do PR wise. Rule one is to be a-political if you are a huge brand.
Damn I guess Jonathan Isaac won’t be getting traded to Dallas anytime soon
Save us Shaq.
Jonathan Isaac getting a max no doubt
think stuff like this affects players’ free agency decision? i doubt it’d really be on their radar tbh
Lol at donating $50k to a candidate that’s losing by 37 points to someone who’s been indicted on multiple felonies.
Funny seeing people in here only just now discovering our ownership group and where they align lol
Trust me, most Magic fans aren’t thrilled with it either. Outside of having deep pockets they haven’t brought much else to the organization.
Yeah as a Magic fan I can’t agree with this. Bad look all around. DeSantis is an absolute joke of a human being.
Magic are owned by the royal family of dark money politics.
Celtics should simply boycott the Magic, for only this reason and definitely not our record against them last year.
Fuck the owners, all fans wish they would sell.
Well it fits that they’re backing a loser with no shot at winning it all.
Lol it’s not just the Magic’s owners who give to Republicans, people shouldn’t be surprised
Are they still sponsored by Disney too?
Jonathan Isaac’s 12/25
I wonder how Jonathan Isaac feels about slavery being deemed a positive
Then again, we all know that dude is grifting
Worst pick since Mo Bamba
Johnathan Isaac has some explaining to do
Like I know it’s not great for an organization to back ANY political candidate, but why is everyone so shocked lmao? The Devos family have been very vocal in the past about where they stand. People are just now getting mad because they backed Desantis. This isn’t new?
Interesting. Disney is their main jersey sponsor. Interesting how this will pan out.
Orlando Magic throw away 50k to candidate with snowball’s chance in hell of even being nominated by his own party. DeSantis is an absolute loser whose “anti-woke” obsession is hurting the state. So of course another loser like Rich DeVos would throw away the equivalent of a penny.
Disney’s still the sponsor of the Magic, right?
“I’m just here so that I don’t get my tax breaks taken away.”
I honestly wonder if the team opening supporting a Republican candidate will have an impact on player signings in the near future
Dam man, talk about lighting $50K on fire.
The more people see of pudding Ron, the more they realize he’s the worst kind of beltway freak. No charisma and no concrete policy positions outside of screeching about trans/gay people and advancing white grievance culture.
Trump is a ghoul but he’s actually got a personality and is legitimately funny. “Meatball Ron” is fucking hilarious. He’s an idiot but he actually has far better political instincts than Ron.
So is this the family that gave us that Betsy Devos lady?
This is positive for me as a fan. I want Shaq to own the team and maybe this is the pipeline to it?
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
absolutely fucking disgusting
The DeVos family made most of their fortune grifting millions with a pyramid scheme. They made the rest farming war criminals.
Come on Shaq, lets see what you gotta say!
So if I’m a black NBA player on the Magic I’m thinking the owner supports the cancellation of Black history in America. Fck that.
