I think (but have no facts) that some sports betting may be allowed at the Seminole casinos. So if more general sports betting is allowed, they would lose revenue.

But yeah, DeSantis is really trying to trash Florida. Now they've introduced a bill to abolish the city of Key West because they are defying his anti-mandate on cruise ship regulations. They're trying to turn Florida into one of those shit holes TFG talked about.
