AS THEY SHOULD. This is absolutely not acceptable. ❌⁣ •⁣ Gabby Thomas spoke out after a disturbing incident at a recent track event where she was harassed by a bettor who later bragged online that his heckling “made my parlay win.” 😡⁣ •⁣ The man followed Thomas around the track, shouting personal insults, even as she stopped to sign autographs for children. 😔⁣ •⁣ FanDuel has since banned the bettor, condemning his behavior as “unacceptable” and saying he is “no longer able to wager” on their platform. That's what we like to see. 🙌⁣ •⁣ Grand Slam Track is investigating the incident, stating: “Despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.” 💪⁣ •⁣ This is the latest example in a troubling rise of abuse toward athletes from bettors, a trend that continues to raise concern across the sports world. #thegist⁣ •⁣ #fanduel #sportsbetting #gabbythomas #track #trackandfield #womenssports #sportsbiz
