Lol at the city doing everything except solve the problem: The Sportsbook is tanking Navy Yard and should be gone. Who could imagine why a bunch of criminally inclined people suddenly want to bring guns and congregate to a block where a bunch of out of towners frequently carry large amounts of cash?

But no sports book means no sweetheart deals for your cousin. And we can’t have that.

The sports book there and downtown are such a fucking blight. It’s bad enough that sports gambling has made sports unwatchable at times but now it’s ruining neighborhoods in real time. Such a bummer.

The sports book at Grand Central has also made that stretch of 18th more sketchy. Talk about unintended consequences

It’s crazy the unsavory characters sports betting brings in. Cuts across age and race lines too. Has changed any bar that features it for the worse really quickly.

It’s crazy to me that people physically go to sports books when it’s much easier to place bets from your phone

Not in DC. Only citywide option is Gambet and their laughable interface and odds. Blame the corrupt Council for giving them a no-bid sweetheart deal, I believe because a Gambet exec is related to McDuffie.
