Athletes are expected to march in lockstep with the left’s radical agenda.
But everybody is not on board.
One pro athlete pushed back against the insane thing Disney is doing.
All hell broke loose when Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law.
The law simply prohibits public school teachers from conducting classroom discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in grades K-3.
And the left went mad.
First, they slandered the piece of legislation as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, even though the word does not appear anywhere in the law.
Then radical leftists pressured Disney to get involved and push back against DeSantis.
He disregarded the criticisms from Disney and signed the bill, but that hasn’t stopped Disney from pursuing an aggressive “not-at-all secret gay agenda,” as described by executive producer Latoya Raveneau.
That spurred former English Premier League star Dejan Lovren to cancel his Disney+ membership.
From Newsbusters:
“The current Zenit St. Petersburg center back and former Liverpool F.C. star took one look at the nauseating agenda Disney is promoting and decided that he would not be financially supporting the company anymore. As a result, he posted picture proof that he was canceling his Disney+ subscription.”
Just cancelled my subscription for Disney+

Raveneau wasn’t the only Disney executive to discuss the company’s overt political agenda.
Disney president Karey Burke admitted during a virtual town hall that adding “queerness” was in the company’s brand in terms of targeting younger generations.
NEW: Disney corporate president Karey Burke, the "mother of two queer children," says the company has been "targeting Gen Z and millennials" with LGBTQIA+ "inclusion" content. Her son told her that "Gen Z is 30-40% queerer" and that Disney "better get with it." pic.twitter.com/CYYD7NqKZg

Lovren isn’t the only athlete to push back against Disney.
Newsbusters added:
“Lovren is the second athlete in recent memory to do away with anything Disney. Former UFC champion Jake Shields sold all his stock in Disney and vowed to do his best to not support Disney as best as he could in the future.”
If Disney and other corporations want to push overt wokeness in their programming, then they will lose many more customers.
