Disney in no hurry to take care of sports betting, CEO Bob Iger said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference:

And it’s not just about fantasy sports, but they care about it. And I prefer to wait as long as possible when I think about it – but I think it’s inevitable that there will basically be a seamless connection between sports programming and sports betting.”
