[0:00]I can't believe this happened, but there is evidently a women's soccer team uh called the Angel City.

[0:08]I believe is the name of them. Correct me if I'm wrong team on this. Angel City is the women's soccer team in Los Angeles.

[0:16]Bob Iger, who is the CEO of Disney, recently purchased this women's soccer team.

[0:24]And they now have decided that they are going to identify themselves as and I want to make sure I get this right, because when I saw this, I was like, this has got to be a joke.

[0:35]This cannot possibly be real. Uh, I tweeted it out and uh, it is real.

[0:43]They have renamed the team, they have made 10,000 photographs, uh 10,000 sorry, uh t-shirts.

[0:49]Um, and I want to make sure that I get this right, uh, because uh, they've rebranded themself.

[0:56]This is Angel City Women's Soccer team. They have rebranded themselves as Immigrant City FC.

[1:04]And this is just continuing Bob Iger's desire to destroy uh brands and sports.

[1:11]I mean, he's destroyed Disney, basically provided no value to it for his entire tenure.

[1:18]The stock price is actually lower than it was back in 2015. You just bought the stock and held it, doesn't even consider inflation. Dividends haven't helped.

[1:29]You've lost money if you just held Disney stock for the last decade. Uh, and he's destroyed the brand of ESPN by going Mega Woke.

[1:36]And now, who is this audience that is appealed to here? First of all, note what they're trying to do. They're trying to confuse immigration and illegal immigration, right?

[1:44]I mean, that is the clear attempt here. But the reality is, most people across the country are opposed to illegal immigration and believe that illegal immigrants should not be able to stay here.

[1:57]If you are an immigrant and you are legal, you should be able to stay here. Um, so the idea that they are increasing in some way, the support from their fan base, I just don't buy.

[2:08]Most soccer fans of women's soccer are moms and dads who have little girls who play soccer.

[2:17]They aren't some sort of crazy left-wing cooks. Um, and so I just think this is further evidence of Bob Iger not being able to read the room and destroying value for brands that would otherwise have been very popular.

[2:30]Like Disney, like ESPN, like this women's soccer team.
