Pierre Garcon Files Class Action Lawsuit Against FanDuel

Post by Burgundy&GoldForever »

” I am bringing this lawsuit against FanDuel for using my name, image, and likeness in both daily fantasy contests and through advertising on TV ads and infomercials. FanDuel has taken the liberty to engage in these actions without my consent and without proper licensing rights. As a result of these activities, FanDuel daily fantasy contests have shown increasing revenues leading to large profits. Therefore, on behalf of myself as well as any other players who are being treated unjustly, I chose to file a complaint.

“I have been advised by my attorney’s not to speak any further on the topic while the case is pending. Any other questions regarding this matter can be addressed to my agent, Brad Cicala.”


Expect DraftKings to be next.
“He was at that time the smartest player in the league. We did everything we could to try to eliminate him from the play. We knew if we didn’t neutralize him, then we had less of a chance of winning.” - John Hannah on Chris Hanburger

Draft Kings and Fan Duel are gambling systems. Should not be legal, and NFL, NBA, MLB should not support them. I'm waiting for Pete Rose to do a TV commercial for one of them.

Correct. They are also under federal investigation for the SEC equivalent of insider trading since employees who have access to the algorithms used are not prohibited from playing.

The reason DraftKings wasn't named in this suit is because they have a deal with the NFLPA.
