In this photo illustration, the American daily fantasy sports contest and sports betting company DraftKings logo is displayed on a smartphone screen. Sports gambling giant DraftKings apologized Monday for a bet parlay offer that would have paid out if three New York teams won on the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks that killed almost 3,000 Americans. The parlay DraftKings was touting earlier Monday said, "Never Forget," a term frequently applied to the Sept. 11 attacks. "We sincerely apologize for the featured parlay that was shared briefly in commemoration of 9/11," DraftKings said on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. "Absolute clowns," one X user wrote in reply to DraftKing's apologetic tweet.

Content management system Wordpress, which enables publishing to the New York Post site, didn't immediately respond to comment, either. The company, which also uses WordPress, suspended its website immediately.
