Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
focusing NFL, not white supremacy
Colin Kaepernick’s mother blitzed President Trump Saturday, a day after he slammed NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem.
Teresa Kaepernick lashed out at the president for using sharper language against NFL players than the white supremacists who wreaked havoc in Charlottesville, Va.
“In Charlottesville, he would not call out the Nazis, not call out the white supremacists, but he’s calling out these guys who are peacefully kneeling and asking for their country to do better,” she told Deadspin.
Trump waded into the NFL controversy while stumping for GOP Senate candidate Luther Strange in Alabama.
“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a b---h off the field right now. He is fired,” Trump told the crowd.
“Total disrespect of our heritage, a total disrespect of everything that we stand for.”
Late Friday, Teresa Kaepernick responded to Trump in a biting tweet.
“Guess that makes me a proud b---h,” she wrote.
In the Deadspin interview, she elaborated on her feelings about Trump’s provocative remark.
“It’s always at his rallies, and he’s always pandering and playing to the crowd,” Teresa Kaepernick said.
“There are a lot of racist people in that crowd, a lot of people that are just looking for something to get hyped about, and this is the kind of thing he does.”

Trump is “like a bully on a playground,” she added. “It’s almost what I’ve come to expect from him and what most of us have come to expect from him.”
She said that she believes Trump’s NFL takedown will likely backfire.
“I thought it was a big mistake on his part,” she said. “Just a terribly bad decision.”
