In a video which went viral, the Super Bowl winning QB seems to be shooting a commercial wherein the entire team gets disrupted with Brees being on the receiving end of an enormous lightning.
Now what caught the attention of millions of football fans was Drew Brees tweeting earlier about being excited to be ‘flying to a top-secret location’ to film a promo for the same platform.
Even after the same video got viral, PointsBet added more to their marketing ploy by issuing a statement saying that they are aware of Brees’ story and will continue to monitor events in the coming hours.
Just as tension were at its peak with plenty of fans concerned about Drew Brees’ health, it was revealed that indeed the viral video was part of a ‘little fun’.
The former New Orleans Saints Quarterback’s viral video was scripted and indeed fake, just to grab the attention. Which honestly, did happen. But perhaps, there could’ve been more subtle ways of promoting their next betting banter.
This was a stage incident just to promote their live betting feature called ‘Lightning Bets.’ So, for those of you are who are keen on knowing what has truly happened to the former marquee figure of the NFL world, he is fine, alive and perhaps enjoying his time at the time of writing.
