- Longtime owner cites status as ‘white billionaire’ for 2014 arrest
- Irsay, 64, pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while impaired
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said his March 2014 arrest for driving under the influence was a result of prejudice against him for being white and wealthy.
The longtime NFL owner spoke about the circumstances of his arrest in an interview with the HBO newsmagazine Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that aired on Tuesday. Irsay later pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while impaired after initially facing four additional counts of possession of a controlled substance.
