The Indianapolis colts were criticized on Wednesday evening for a deleted social media video which was to reveal in a creative manner the team’s game calendar in 2025.
The clip, which was animated in the style of video games belonging to Microsoft Minecraft, opened with a previewing segment of the team of the team 1 of the team against the Miami dolphins. In this document, the star of the Dolphins, Tyreek Hill, was represented as a dolphin and was then approached by a boat from the Coast Guard who sounds a police siren, with a police officer looking at Hill.
Hill was arrested in September in a largely publicized controversy which included bodycam images of the wide receiver pinned to the ground by the police while he was handcuffed.

The colts deleted the video later in the evening and have since provided a statement to Fox New Digital specifying that it was deleted due to the representation of the hill and because it violated the team’s agreement with Microsoft.
“We have deleted our calendar publication video because it has exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving the Tyreek Hill dolphins recipient. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek,” the team said on Thursday.

Los Angeles loaders have also formatted their video of the calendar with Minecraft. However, unlike the colts, the video loads included a warning at the very beginning.
In addition, unlike the video of the colts, the loaders’ video seems to be a real recorded gameplay of Minecraft, while Indianapolis used an owner animation.

The contract started with an agreement of $ 400 million over five years, with a subsequent extension in 2020. The partnership allows NFL teams and staff to use Microsoft teams for collaboration and communication, and it also includes Microsoft surface tablets for players and coaches to use on the button.
