The Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday got in on the trend of teams putting together entertaining schedule release videos, but they have since removed their in part because of the shot that was taken at Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill.

The Colts will open their 2025 regular season against the Dolphins. Within the first 15 seconds of their Minecraft-themed schedule release video, a dolphin wearing a Hill jersey was shown being arrested by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The video was not live for very long. On Thursday, the Colts issued a statement explaining that they removed the video because it “exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.”

Statement from the Colts: "We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek."

Of course, nothing is ever truly gone from the internet. Plenty of people preserved the original schedule release video:

Hill was pulled over by police while driving to the Dolphins’ first game of the season last year. He reportedly got into a verbal altercation with an officer during the stop, which led to the wide receiver being handcuffed on the ground. You can see a video here.

Obviously, the person who made the Colts’ schedule release video thought poking fun at Hill over the arrest was fair game. The team either disagreed or quickly changed their mind about it.
