Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay threatens to SUE Stephen A. Smith's First Take and ESPN reporter over their reaction to him blaming his 2014 DUI arrest on being a white billionaire

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has threatened to sue ESPN's Frist Take and analyst Stephen A. Smith over the show's comments on his 2014 DUI arrest. 

During an interview with Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, the 64-year-old Irsay told interviewer 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'm a rich, white billionaire,' Irsay told Kremer. 'If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not.'

Frist Take and Smith covered the NFL franchise owner's comments Wednesday, leading Irsay 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.' 

'My Grandparents came across Ellis Island, with just the shirt on their back..penniless and escaping Jewish Concentration Camps… I grew up in a horrible home where both my brother and sister died in a Car Crash in 1971. I worked for my living/bought 30% of the Colts Bank Loan,' he added with it unclear how it related to the situation. 

He concluded by referring to ESPN reporter Kimberley A. Martin, adding: 'And on 1st Take,the Woman that preceded Stephen A… how dare you pretend to know me; I don't know your name and I don't care to. If my Black Mother Dorthy was still alive..you'd be in some big Hot Water! You are mean and ugly Your a Nothing Burger.'

The 'woman that preceded' Stephen A. Smith on First Take, Kimberley A. Martin, said regarding his comments on Real Sports, 'What's frustrating is, his comments exemplify exactly what people think NFL owners are: detached, just a total lack of awareness of their privilege and the flippancy of how they discuss their privilege.'

'He came off like he's a victim and that anyone who's had as many opportunities as as he's had - just by virtue of his name, the family he was raised in and the color of his skin - it bothered me on a lot of levels.'

After Irsay's string of posts on X on Wednesday, Martin even changed her name on the platform to  'Woman that preceded Stephen A.'
