BREAKING NEWS: Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill and Microsoft Sue Colts Over Allegations and Schedule Video
In a surprising twist making waves across the NFL, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tech giant Microsoft have jointly filed a lawsuit against the Indianapolis Colts, citing defamation, misuse of intellectual property, and unauthorized publication of sensitive material.
According to initial filings, the lawsuit stems from a controversial video recently posted by the Colts on their official social media channels. The video, part of a promotional series for the 2025 season schedule release, allegedly included:
Fabricated or misleading claims involving Tyreek Hill and his conduct during last seasonโs game against Indianapolis.
Unauthorized use of Microsoft’s proprietary technology in the visual presentation, which the company claims was manipulated in a way that misrepresented product capabilities.
Potential defamation, with Hillโs legal team asserting the video portrays him in a false and damaging light, possibly affecting both his personal image and endorsement deals.
Microsoftโs Involvement
Microsoftโs legal counsel stated that the video violated the companyโs licensing agreement, specifically regarding use of AI-enhanced graphics and voice synthesis, which the Colts allegedly used without consent or proper attribution.
Colts Yet to Respond
As of this writing, the Indianapolis Colts organization has not issued an official response. However, NFL insiders report that the league office has opened an internal review, and the Colts’ social media post has since been deleted.
Whatโs Next
Legal experts suggest the case could set a precedent regarding media conduct, athlete rights, and tech use in sports marketing. The Dolphins organization has voiced full support for Hill, while Microsoft aims to “protect its brand integrity and responsible use of emerging technologies.”
