DraftKings apologizes for 9/11-themed bet promotion

Sports betting website DraftKings has apologized after offering a 9/11-themed bet on their platform on Monday, the day that maked 22 years since the terrorist attacks. 

DraftKings' "Never Forget" bet was a three-team parlay that would reward bettors if the New York Jets, Mets and Yankees all won on Sept. 11, since all three had scheduled games. However, many on social media were quick to call out the Boston-based company, prompting them to apologize. 

"We sincerely apologize for the featured parlay that was shared briefly in commemoration of 9/11," DraftKings said. "We respect the significance of this day for our country and especially for the families of those who were directly affected."
