Bar owners around Nats Park are pissed and may sue over the boundaries prohibiting them from hosting sportsbooks. Justifiably so, they pay a special ballpark tax and they pay a high rent, it can't be legal to exclude them from a revenue stream ava to the rest of the city.

Given the amount the Nats are paying for exclusivity- oh, wait, just a giveaway with the city getting nothing in return
