DraftKings plans on donating profits from their NBA and WNBA DFS contests this weekend to organizations that advance racial justice in the United States.
During an appearance on CNBC, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins committed to donating 100% of the profits the company makes this weekend to, “charities and other initiatives that support combating racism and promoting racial justice and social justice.”
Earlier in the week, DraftKings put out a statement that said the following:
“The DraftKings community can play an important role in amplifying the message of Black athletes. We stand with the Black community in pursuit of basic human rights and justice.
