The NFL has recently ramped up its overall emphasis and production of schedule releases for social media purposes. The league is once again trying to fill its downtime of an offseason with as many ‘events’ as possible and the annual schedule release videos are the latest installment of this initiative.
Yesterday was the highly anticipated release date in question and the Indianapolis Colts deleted their Minecraft-themed schedule release video (which can still be viewed via this hyperlink) soon thereafter due to a couple of complications.
First and foremost, what got the internet riled up and was presumed to be the sole reason behind the Colts’ deletion is the Week 1 inclusion of a shot that was taken at Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
