He was driving a Toyota Highlander when arrested... Don't think the cop was expecting a billionaire behind the wheel
Trying to figure out how he came to the conclusion that only rich white guys get arrested for DUI.
Thats a helluva bubble he must be living in.
One time in my life where I hope the police get MORE prejudiced against a certain group
This obviously sounds ridiculous, but jealousy is a motherfucker and if you don't think the underpaid rookie cops working the 3am shift would make an example or take out their frustrations on the super rich guy that they wouldn't do to another guy that's similar to them in age/status, then I don't even know what to say.
Maybe they let someone else off with a warning but it's also unfair to blame the police for doing their job. Assuming Isray was impaired - while he may have a small point its overshadowed by that he didn't admit he shouldn't of been driving. I never understand why people who can afford to have multiple 24/7 drivers are driving messed up...

I say we double down on oligarchical-oppression
I’ll pray for you and your people, sir.
It Must be tough getting around a house with 87 rooms and 5 heated swimming pools.
Us more fortunate people that live in a house that you can open the fridge from the only toilet in the house need to realize how hard these people with phone numbers for bank accounts have it.
This is an Onion article right?
Why was he driving to begin with
You are a billionaire
Idk why people thought it was a joke. Irsay has always sucked.
Was hilarious in the interview when he kept doubling down that he was not at fault at all, the whole segment took a turn then. But the funniest part was when Peyton manning was showing the camera the constant stream of 10 minute nonsensical blabbering voice memos irsay sends to him with a look of “I know, he’s so annoying”
If he's having such a tough time being a billionaire why not just donate all his wealth and be poor? Unless of course... the little "prejudice" he experiences is nothing compared to being poor.
National treasure
As he wipes his tears away with hundred dollar bills
This dudes family is probably just starting to roll in for the holiday and he instantly goes oppressed victim.
I called Irsay a typical rich jackass in the Colts subbed and got flamed for it, lol. He’s exactly what you’d expect from someone that inherited so much money and a fuckin football team.
What if he was a black billionaire? Would they still arrest him? Or would the double negatives of black and billionaire cancel out?
Jerry is rolling over in his grave knowing that POS has his old guitar.
How is this not from The Onion?
Surprised he was able to take a break from being a junkie to make these comments
I'm glad somebody is finally speaking up
The man is 64 and he looks 84.
I’m a dirt poor white billionaire.
Holy shit I can’t wait til ol billy burr gets ahold of this one!
Exactly why I decided not to be a billionaire
plays the world’s smallest violin
I really thought this was headline from the onion, but oh no
I will happily become a oppressed white billionaire
Someone come take his pills away
By the way: never forget.
"Hurley: Failed DeflateGate Accusations Mean It's Time For Irsay, Pagano To Be Banned From NFL"
Fucking buffoon
As a Black man from a 2 person household in the suburbs, I completely understand his struggle
Fuck Dean Spanos but also fuck Jim Irsay.
If only he could have afford a full driver, this never would have happened.
Wow.
I have no doubt he sincerely believes this.
I'm not saying we should put all the billionaires on a rocket and fire it into the Sun, but I am saying it would be great.
"The 64-year-old Irsay also told Kremer he has gone to rehab for addiction 15 times and that he once nearly died of an overdose"
Well ain't that special.
As a wise man once said, “He has less self-awareness than a dog licking its asshole in the middle of the street”
Almost 10 years to reflect and that's his response.
Truly the upper quartile of silver spoon billionaires.
There’s no way to say what he meant to say and it not be taken this way.
What he was trying to say is Police absolutely relish in opportunity to arrest famous people and people with money.
But they rarely pay any consequences from those arrests due to the court system.
To nuanced for Jim to tackle in a 3 minute clip.
I needed a good laugh lmao
"You think that is unfair? Try being a cablasian billionaire and on drugs, Jim." - Tiger Woods
"I'm the real victim here"
Holy shit. Who do you guys think is dumber.....Irsay, or Trump? Its close.
Only a billionaire would have the gall.
Maybe it’s actually because you were operating a vehicle while intoxicated
Sir you were bombed
Kill em all
