The fallout from the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s racist remarks at a Donald Trump rally this weekend may mark the end of his brand ambassadorship deal with a top U.S. sportsbook. Front Office Sports reported Monday night, citing a source, that DraftKings was re-evaluating its relationship with Hinchcliffe, who also goes by “Kill Tony.” The report said Hinchcliffe became a partner with DraftKings “several months” ago, but it did not disclose how much the gambling operating—worth $17.5 billion—was paying the comedian. Hinchcliffe, 40, has reportedly erased promos for the sportsbook he’d posted in recent weeks on X. Hinchcliffe, who goes by “Kill Tony,” has been under fire since he said on stage at Madison Square Garden, standing behind a Trump-Vance branded podium, that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage,” that Latinos “love making babies,” and that he “carved watermelons” with a Black rally attendee. Some Republican lawmakers, like Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, joined the Trump campaign in condemning the comments. However, some prominent Puerto Ricans, including an archbishop, have called on the former president to personally denounce the comments made at his rally.
