Framing Analysis
FanDuel sent a 21-second personalized video featuring Philadelphia Phillies player Bryce Harper to customer Terry Thompson, who wagered $18.5 million on the platform beginning in 2020. Thompson, one of two plaintiffs in a lawsuit against FanDuel, took out additional mortgages on his home, lost the property to foreclosure, and sought psychiatric treatment for gambling addiction. The video and related claims draw from reporting by Fox News and TechCrunch, with some details remaining unverified.
