Minecraft inspired NFL 2025 schedule release removed due to licensing and tasteless joke

The Los Angeles Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts used Minecraft to unveil their 2025 NFL matchups. The Colts' video was taken down due to a licensing conflict with Microsoft, which owns Minecraft. The Colts included a crude joke about Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and an insensitive clip, leading to their apology for exceeding rights with Microsoft. Hill's agent stated that Hill found humor in the situation. The Chargers' video properly credited Microsoft, raising questions about the Colts' adherence to licensing agreements.

Mike Florio: NFL needs to start signing off on schedule-release videos

The Indianapolis Colts retracted their Minecraft-themed schedule announcement video due to a lack of proper copyright permissions from Microsoft and the inclusion of an insensitive clip featuring Tyreek Hill. The Los Angeles Chargers successfully used Minecraft imagery with permission from Microsoft. The New England Patriots featured Dave Portnoy in their video, raising questions about relations between the NFL and Barstool Sports. The NFL does not require teams to submit schedule-release videos for approval, a policy that has been criticized following the Colts' blunder. Pro Football Talk commentator Mike Florio suggested that the league should reconsider this approach to prevent similar issues.

Tyreek Hill breaks silence over controversial Colts Minecraft schedule video

The Indianapolis Colts released their 2024 schedule through a Minecraft-themed video, which included a scene featuring a pixelated dolphin in a Tyreek Hill jersey being intercepted by a Coast Guard boat. This was interpreted by many as a reference to Hill's past legal issues, leading to negative backlash. The Colts deleted the video and apologized to both Hill and Microsoft for exceeding their licensing rights. They later released a more cautious backup video. Hill humorously responded on social media, suggesting the Colts should have kept the original video up. The incident highlights the need for NFL teams to balance creativity with sensitivity in their content.
