DraftKings Ads Return to ESPN After a Few Days Absence

That lasted about as long as U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s boycott of Fox News. 

After ESPN announced it had removed in-program sponsored segments and DraftKings said it had willingly pulled all its advertisements from the 24-hour sports network.  They are back, both the commercials and the in-show sponsored segments after only a two-day vanishing act.

DraftKings and its chief rival FanDuel have been embroiled in a highly publicized scandal whereby even the Attorney General of New York has begun an investigation into the incident. 

Over the weekend, users in a number of Fantasy Sports online forums began asking whether a DraftKings employee might have used information about lineups to win $350,000 in a competing contest on the FanDuel site. The information detailed the percentages of entrants who selected certain fantasy players.  That employee had posted the information prior to the start of that week’s games.

A class action lawsuit was even announced on Thursday.
