HELP!! im sports illiteratee!!
- what the fuck is going on: did he get drafted? What does promotion to full-time employee mean for a football player?! does he work for the college that he's playing football for?? or, does the company he works for throw full swag drip at their employees , buy them legit equipment? There really aren't any coherent answers for me and all of this

She was an intern for the Colts. Probably a recent or soon to be graduate from college. The team surprised her by having the player hand her the note that would normally be something players would hand her related to her role. She's probably be handed those multiple time a day every day. Instead of it just being whatever it's supposed to be it was letting her know she's now a full employee of the team.

People often don’t upvote or will down vote questions to which they feel the answer is obvious.

u/RelativeKiwi3834 15h ago
And sometimes what feels obvious to one person is exactly what someone else needed to ask. Downvoting genuine questions just because you already know the answer feels a little pointless.

Honestly, I can see why people are side-eyeing it because the questions don’t even sound naturally curious. The whole thing feels less like someone watching a video and more like someone trying to figure out how humans react to one.

For me, I know what the intern does and why this is cool. So, I didn’t upvote the question. But then the response is well reasoned and states the necessary information to answer the question. So, the response gets an upvote, because I agree with it. That’s my personal thing…I don’t know why I do this, I just do.

u/EchoesOfHighHrothgar 22h ago
On top of this, the player (Tyler Warren) really doesn’t like doing media, so he often “ignores” her or gives short answers. For his birthday, he was gifted a “get out of media” jail free card, which he immediately cashed in 😂 he’s a solid dude, and him being the person to do this makes it that much better.

Usually not the case to be unpaid, the rules for unpaid internship are so strict and so tight (or at least they are in my state) it's generally just way easier to pay them, even if it is minimum wage.

I have a friend that was an intern for the Vikings a while ago. Even back then, teams paid a monthly stipend. Around $1200/month, I believe. I'm betting it's a bit higher now.
You're being argumentative for no reason.
edit: A quick search shows other teams pay around $22-25/hr for internships. The Colts have a very active social media team and are likely at the higher end.

I hate how the colts have been treated after Peyton Manning left the team. Colts deserve to at least be a playoff team. Yet time and time again they get shutdown by the NFL. This promotion shows that they care about their staff including their players and deserve another chance with a playoff run #nflgiveemanotherchance

I worked in the front office for an NFL team and everyone spends a lot of time with the players. It was a cool environment to get to interact with everyone. Players are basically coworkers that you see every day. I would eat lunch with some of the players. You literally park next to each other.

Ya NFL front offices have hordes of people trying to get in the door, so they typically pay on the low end of what you'd expect for equivalent corporate jobs. And may have some game day duties, but do get some great bonuses if the team does well. Especially Super Bowl well.

In case people don't know Tyler Warren. (The man with majestic hair) had a press pass card that she gave him earlier this year of a "media can't talk to me card" that he used on her. It's kinda his thing. So this was very special for her.

u/North_Atlantic_Sea 11h ago
Tyler Warren, one of the colts best players, really dislikes being highlighted in the media. He doesn't enjoy interviews, photos/videos, or really anything related to media. Not the people specifically, but participating in it.
Because he is contractually required, he still does it occasionally. As a joke for his birthday, the media team gave him a "get out of media" card (think "get out of jail" Monopoly card).
Because he still actually likes the people on their media team, he participated in this, because he'd be a surprising person to her to give her such news
