H2o Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38957988/jim-irsay-cites-status-white-billionaire-2014-arrest Quote "I am prejudiced against because I'm a rich, white billionaire," Irsay said during the interview, which aired Tuesday night. "If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not." He might be the next sports owner semi-forced out. If anything, it's the other way around. Billionaires get away with murder compared to the average Joe like you or me. It couldn't be the fact that he was wasted, nooooooo. Pretty much everything that comes out of this guy's mouth is tone deaf or ridiculous. I can't believe he's made it this long. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 i suppose it is possible he is correct, he could be a sherman mccoy type of target, but still, he's not smart mentioning it. and based on his inability to "read the room", i'd suggest he provided more than a few reasons to be targetted.

WideNine Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Poor billionaires indeed. ...and every time I have to jump through a zillion hoops to get my kid's tiny dose of meds at the pharmacy now with all the "controlled substances" hoops and confusing rules, I think fondly and thank the Sacklers and their Purdue pharmaceutical business that pushed oxycontin products like a Mexican drug cartel. Create an opioid epidemic and as long as they had the $ to pay a 6 billion dollar settlement no one does any jail time. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never met a single one Are they classified as an endangered species yet? Just sad that he likely fried his brain cells on his drinking and then added a drug addiction with a drug that also is harmful when abused. I imagine he isn't sober and it wouldn't surprise me the league isn't actively trying to push him out. I hope his heirs aren't following in his lifestyle choices. I imagine even a change to an heir has to be approved in someway for it to be official. If the league finds the heir unsuitable a forced sale at that point may be pushed by league.
