The Indianapolis Colts have deleted a schedule release video that featured an "insensitive" clip of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill being detained.
On Wednesday (May 14), NFL teams released their game schedules for the 2025 season through various social media posts.
The Colts revealed their schedule in a "Minecraft"-themed video, based on the recently released film about the popular game. The controversial part of the organization's schedule release came when a dolphin that was wearing Hill's jersey was stopped by an officer in a Coast Guard boat while swimming in the ocean.
The clip was an apparent callback to Hill being detained by officers outside of Miami's Hard Rock Stadium before his team's season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. During his detainment, officers forcibly removed Hill from his car and handcuffed the star wide receiver as he lay face-first on the ground.
The Colts wiped their schedule release video from X, formerly Twitter, citing the "insensitive" clip and licensing issues with Microsoft.
“We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill,” the Colts said in a statement on Thursday (May 15). “We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek.”
During his detainment, Hill was ticketed for careless driving and a seatbelt violation, which was later dismissed. Danny Torres, one of the officers involved in Hill's detainment, was put on administrative duties following the incident.
