    The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

    He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

    Edit: typo

      You’ve almost verbatim repeated what is in the headline. The only part you didn’t repeat is, verbatim, a quote from Ron DeSantis. I’m lost as to what you find misleading.

        I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

          I did read the OP title as Ron wanting to back down so your clarification helped at least one person. :)

    Sounds like Disney is going to end up getting a lot of benefits and concessions in return for not publicly destroying DeSantis

      The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.

      He can’t, and won’t, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney’s favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won’t, and shouldn’t, stop hitting him with everything they got.

    On one hand, fuck DeSantis. On the other hand, fuck Disney. It isn’t some paragon of virtue either.

        They will continue to meddle in copyright cases. They aren’t monsters like ole Ronnie Boy, but they are problematic.

      Yeah, but watching someone I truly hate strike at the mouse only to have it grab their hand and use it to punch their own face is amazing.

      Disney, DeSantis, destroy each other would ya?

    And that’s exactly what Disney’s army of lawyers are known for - holding hands and singing Kumbaya when the other side asks nicely.
