The Indianapolis Colts faced backlash after releasing a video spoofing Minecraft that included an insensitive depiction of Miami receiver Tyreek Hill, referencing a controversial traffic stop he experienced. The animation showed a dolphin in Hill's jersey being halted by the Coast Guard, echoing the incident where Hill was forcibly removed from his car by police. The Colts deleted the video due to unapproved use of Minecraft's intellectual property and issued an apology to both Microsoft and Hill for the incident. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers successfully created a similar video with proper permissions.
"We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill."
"Hill's arrest provoked controversy after officers forcibly removed him from his car and threw him to the ground. Hill later said the officers beat the dog out of me during the stop."
