It's an epitome of self-pity!
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said in a newly released interview he was “prejudiced against” for being a “rich, White billionaire” when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2014.
Irsay pled guilty later that year to one misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated but, in an HBO interview that aired on Tuesday, the 64-year-old cited his wealth and status as the reason for the arrest.
“I am prejudiced against because I’m a rich, White billionaire,” Irsay said in an interview with Andrea Kremer on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
What? Isn’t entitlement and self-pity traditional American rights?
Well, they are, actually, although we do tend to call them Manifest Destiny, which is morbidly amusing seeing as most Americans are the cast-off detritus of Western Europe.
I wonder how else Irsay will humiliate himself.
