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 unpaid intern, She has been promoted to fulltime with pay. The player handed her the promotion announcement.

Nothing said she was unpaid. It’s possible, but not necessarily the case

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.

There was nothing about whether the intern was paid or unpaid in the vid, so I was just noting that in response to the comment claiming she was unpaid prior to this :)

Nothing said she was paid. They're being argumentative just because.

How do we verify this former intern's pay?

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.
