As we approach the nail-biting NBA finals, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis proposed a “friendly wager” with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, now GOP presidential candidate, which would have a happy ending for Disney…that is if the Denver Nuggets beat the Miami Heat.
The championship matchup begins on Thursday and Gov. Polis is suggesting that the Walt Disney World Resort DIS pull up stakes from the ever-controversial Sunshine State and plop right down in Colorado where life is relaxed, weed is legal and well, people are happy.
NBA star Dwyane Wade, one of the most famous Miami Heat players of all time, left Florida recently with his family after many years because of what he called an unwelcome climate after the state passed the controversial Parental Rights in Education Act, commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
In the Tuesday Twitter wager, Polis referred to Colorado as “the ACTUAL happiest place on earth to do business, have fun, and be free!
Calling @GovRonDeSantis and @Disney on a friendly wager. If the @nuggets win the finals against the @MiamiHEAT, Disney World will move to Colorado, the ACTUAL happiest place on earth to do business, have fun, and be free! #ColoradoForAll
