Congress Targets Harper's FanDuel Video | Los Angeles News

Three Congress members are sounding the alarm after Bryce Harper’s holiday video for FanDuel allegedly encouraged a gambling addict to keep betting — sparking a push for stricter MLB rules. Lawmakers are demanding answers from MLB and the players union by August 24th, questioning whether current endorsement policies, which allow players to promote sportsbooks as long as they don’t bet on baseball, are enough to protect vulnerable fans. With sports betting booming since 2018, this incident highlights how personalized player content can unintentionally fuel addiction — even if the athlete is unaware. FanDuel says it has responsible gaming safeguards, but lawmakers argue those aren’t stopping predatory marketing.
