If there’s one thing we know about Jim Irsay, he’s going to say whatever is on his mind whenever he feels like it.
That’s almost never a good thing.
That’s certainly the case today with Irsay taking to social media to threaten legal action against ESPN because of a segment on First Take he didn’t like.
This all stems from an interview Irsay did on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel where he told Andrea Kremer he was targeted when he was arrested back in 2014 because he’s a “rich, white billionaire.”
Sounds stupid, right? Right. It’s not hard to see through that.
Stephen A. Smith, Kimberly Martin and ESPN’s First Take crew did just that and called him out for it. Irsay didn’t like it so now he’s hurling insults at people and threatening lawsuits against his league’s network partner. Sounds about right.
It’s just the latest mess Irsay has created for the NFL that it’ll need to jump in and handle.
