holdout

Sharaa met Sunday night in Washington with Rep. Brian Mast, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who has been one of the last holdouts in Congress in repealing that 2019 legislation.

With about half of the players and coaches left, Redick said he’s already noticing the holdouts actively planning their presentations before their nominations.

Onset, which says it is owed $1.9 billion by the company, was one of the holdouts objecting to the DIP loan.

They include the customary anti-gambling holdouts Utah and Hawaii, and California, where ballot measures to legalize sports gambling were defeated in 2022.

The last holdouts either gave in and started buying internet stocks at peak prices, or got fired — to be replaced at the helm of their funds by dot-com enthusiasts.
