It's really about the double standard. Had this been a black player this would not be treated as an addiction but rather another example of black athletes thinking they're above the law.

Substance abuse in this country is a serious issue but it's only serious one way.

Would never see responses like this for black or latino athletes.

Why can't we generate this level of reflection, compassion, and understanding too? :to:

C'mon guys show some compassion.


He's got "mental issues" and "internal demons" that's he's courageously fighting. We shouldn't pile on and make fun of these issues, we should be supporting him and helping him.

I mean c'mon, it's not like he's one of his slav, uh I mean "employees." He's no THUG:troll:

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, some people with connections to the Colts franchise had grown concerned about the owner’s behavior.

“There are people around the Colts organization who have been suspicious about some of his behavior,” Schefter said Monday morning onSportsCenter.

No details were given about Irsay’s suspicious behavior. Irsay has acknowledged his struggles with addiction but has claimed that he stopped drinking 15 years ago. Irsay will be subject to discipline from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Colts owner Jim Irsay was intoxicated on pills and going 10 mph in a 35 mph zone when police stopped him in Carmel Sunday night, court documents said.

According to the probable cause affidavit following his arrest around 11:40 p.m. Sunday near 131st Street and Horseferry Road, police stopped Irsay’s silver Toyota Highlander after seeing the SUV going 10 mph in a 35 mph zone. The car also came to “a complete stop in the middle of the road…then started driving again and came to another complete stop in the middle of the road,” court documents said. “Mr. Irsay then continued driving again and made a turn without using a turn signal.”

According to the investigating officer, Irsay displayed poor manual dexterity. His eyes were glassy and blood shot; his speech slurred and his balance unsteady. He failed multiple field sobriety tests.

The investigating officer “performed a DRE evaluation on Mr. Irsay…(the officer) concluded the results of the evaluation to be Mr. Irsay is intoxicated with CNS depressants.”

CNS depressants are a class of drugs that includes tranquilizers and sedatives. Some examples are benzodiazepines (marketed commercially as Xanax and Valium), non-benzodiazepine sleep aids (Ambien or Lunesta) and barbiturates (Luminal Sodium, Nembutal).

Police found “multiple prescription drugs in pill bottles” in Irsay’s vehicle. The prescription drugs were “not associated with any prescription bottles found in the vehicle.”

Irsay verbally refused to take a chemical test, police said. Authorities obtained a search warrant ordering a test. A blood draw was performed and sent to the Indiana State Department of Toxicology for testing. Prosecutors will determine if Irsay has a prescription for the drugs, which may have an impact on criminal felony drug possession charges.
