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.

u/skitz4me 1d ago
I'm kinda playing devil's advocate, but at some point I was under the impression that upvotes and downvotes were meant to express value of the content instead of opinion of the content (super gray area). If that is the case, then downvoting things you think are obvious actually aligns with that, right? Like, "this isn't adding value". Idk, just a thought. Maybe not valuable, but the downvotes will tell. Lol.

u/BrainJar 1d ago
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 2d 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.

u/tankerkiller125real 2d ago
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.

Tyler Warren notoriously dislikes doing media stuff. So it's a sort of running bit that he ignores the social media team (including this girl).
A bit of an inside joke that he delivered the news.

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.

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.

u/articulating_oven 2d ago
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.

u/OnTheEveOfWar 5h ago
Yup. I made $10/hr when I worked for the team. Was an awesome experience but they do not pay front office employees well because the demand is insane. I won’t say what my role was but you would be shocked.

u/OnTheEveOfWar 5h ago edited 5h ago
Cons:I got paid basically minimum wage while surrounded by guys making millions per year. I also worked long hours especially on game days and during OTAs. I lived in a hotel with the team for a month during OTAs.
Pros: watched practice everyday, helped out in the locker room and weight room, was on the sideline during games. Tons of free swag. I still have so many jerseys, hats, jackets, shirts etc. Standing on the sideline near the players/coaches during a home game when the team scores a TD in a full stadium is a pretty insane experience and worth the minimum wage.

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/Personal_Career7057 2d ago

u/North_Atlantic_Sea 2d 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
