## Resource

Bryce Harper’s Thanksgiving video message to a high-stakes gambler has ignited a firestorm, with fans accusing him of being a “sellout” and fueling the gambling crisis. The video, purchased via Cameo by a FanDuel employee and used as part of a VIP gambling perk, was never intended as an endorsement — Harper thought he was just sending a personal thank-you. Now, amid backlash and calls to ban sports betting, the Phillies remain silent and Harper’s team won’t comment, leaving fans to debate whether athletes are being exploited or if the real issue is the unchecked power of gambling apps.
