The U.S. government will challenge the proposed merger of DraftKings and FanDuel, the two largest daily fantasy sports sites. The Federal Trade Commission said in a statement Monday that, along with offices of the attorneys general in California and the District of Columbia, it has filed a complaint seeking to stop the deal. The complaint argues the merger would create a “near monopoly” with the combined company controlling “more than 90 percent of the U.S. market for paid daily fantasy sports contests.”
