Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper has publicly addressed a recent video that surfaced and was linked to the sports betting company FanDuel. In a statement, Harper expressed his surprise and distance from the video's intended purpose, stating that the situation escalated beyond his awareness or approval.

Harper's statement indicates that the video was recorded via the Cameo platform. However, he asserts that he was unaware that the content would be associated with a betting operator. He further clarified that he had no knowledge of how FanDuel would ultimately deploy the footage.

The outfielder's comments aim to distance himself from any direct endorsement of gambling activities, emphasizing a lack of consent and understanding regarding the video's commercial use by FanDuel.

💬 SideLine Take

Harper's plea of ignorance rings hollow; in the age of influencer marketing, athletes should be hyper-vigilant about where their content ends up, especially concerning regulated industries.
