Indianapolis Colts' owner now says his DUI arrest was because he is a "rich, white billionaire."
In 2014, Irsay pled guilty to one misdemeanor count and was suspended for six months from the NFL.
The billionaire said in a newly-released interview that he only pled guilty to "get it over with."

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said he was "prejudiced against" for being a "rich, white billionaire" when he was arrested on a DUI charge in 2014.
