As legalized gambling spreads across the country, Atlanta pro sports franchises contend Georgia’s lack of movement in that direction puts the local teams at a disadvantage.

The Braves, Falcons, Hawks and Atlanta United teamed up three years ago to push for online and mobile sports betting in Georgia, but their efforts so far have come up empty with the state Legislature.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2018 cleared the way for states to allow gambling on sports events if they choose to do so. More than 30 states now have, or are in the process of implementing, legal sports betting – Georgia not among them.
