Cartoon of the Week: You Bet!

Crain's Detroit Business, February 10
MLB, for decades, has prohibited team owners from operating a casino business. That's why the Motorcity Casino is owned by Marian Ilitch, but she doesn't have any official ownership stake in the Detroit Tigers. After the May 2018 Supreme Court decision that ended the federal ban on sports betting, and the growth of legal sports betting, MLB is considering a rules change. Will it really matter in Detroit? Will there be thousands of bettors lining up to place money on the Ilitch-owned home team to win?
That's the Point!
