I love the black man in the background of the thumbnail. "Is this motherfucker serious??"
i want to live in their invented universe
- Imagine being a billionaire and still living with a the victim mentality they abuse the proletariat of having.
Objection, your honour. Irsay.
Must be because of all those billionaires supporting defund the police. 🤣
- He thinks being part of the 1% makes him technically a minority
  
  He just chose to never learn the difference between "minority" and "marginalized"
The 64-year-old businessman also told Real Sports that he has gone to rehab for addiction 15 times
I believe him when he says his hip surgery is the reason he failed the sobriety test. After 15 rehabs, he surely never operated a vehicle while intoxicated. That would defy all odds.
- Also, jackass
Won’t someone think of the white male billionaires?!?!?!
It can't be all that bad if he still chooses to be a wealthy old white man. He can choose to be just an old white man, most people with actual prejudice can't choose to change what they are targeted for.
Just about every time I pass a car that got pulled over, the driver looks just like the monopoly guy
March 2014
The arrest in question took place almost 10 years ago... Seems like someone got his feelings hurt big time
Police in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel pulled Irsay over after observing a man in a Toyota Highlander driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.
Lol. Yeah police across the world are constantly pulling over Toyota Highlanders driving like a confused elderly lady merging on to an interstate, everyone knows that's the profile for a whiny jackass billionaire.
- “I don’t care what it sounds like,” Irsay said. “It’s the truth ... I could give a damn what people think how anything sounds or sounds like. The truth is the truth, and I know the truth.”
  This is the real problem with the billionaires. It doesn’t matter what they do or what anyone other than maybe other billionaires think.
Hahahahahahahaha
Leave the white! Billionaires! Aloooooone! sob
FFS
Oh boo hoo.. poor bastard gonna have to get his chauffeur to drive for a few months
- Ah the naivete. Make sure you don't fall off that high horse you're liable to hurt yourself.
  
  I'm sure if they fell and are injured they were breaking horse riding law.
  
  90% of the time it's either a bot, or the suspect in a Criminal Minds episode.
- The police are prejudiced against those without power. They're merely bullies, enabled by those in power.
  That's why governments don't enforce stricter hiring practices for police. Last thing they want is a smart police force that might turn on them when the people inevitably do.
