Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, has threatened to sue First Take after Stephen A. Smith called him a ‘entitled brat’ for blaming his 2014 DUI arrest on being a white billionaire.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has vowed to sue ESPN’s Frist Take and analyst Stephen A. Smith over the show’s remarks on his 2014 DUI arrest. During an interview with Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Irsay, 64, told Andrea Kremer that he was discriminated against nine years ago when he was pulled over in Carmel, Indiana on suspicion of DUI.
“I am prejudiced against because I am a wealthy, white billionaire,” Irsay told Kremer. ‘If I’m just the normal person down the block, they’re not going to take me in, of course.
First Take and Smith discussed the NFL franchise owner’s statements on Wednesday, with the ESPN personality branding Irsay a ‘entitled old brat’, prompting the 64-year-old to threaten to sue the program for the panel’s reaction. Taking on X, Irsay launched a furious rant, posting: ‘1st take, your gonna get your ass sued, because there was NO alcohol, no illegal drugs/ $29,000 dollars is low for me to be carrying in,2014 arrest/I give away $2000-$10,000 dollars to the homeless and needed on the street, all the time and pass it on, making the world better.’
