Colts Owner and Cheapskate Jim Irsay to Give $1 Per Ticket Sold at Pre-Season Game to Fair Fund, Wants Each Fan to Contribute $10

Colts Owner Jim Irsay

I remember one spring a few years ago when the eastside of Indianapolis experienced a tornado and southern Indiana experienced sever flooding. The twin catastrophes caused hundreds millions of dollars in damage.  So what did the Colts' owner Jim Irsay, who taxpayers' subsidies of the Colts turned Irsay from being an ordinary millionaire to a billionaire, contribute to the cause?  $50,000...if the fans would match it.

Now Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has announced that he will contribute to the fund that will support victims' families of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.

According to a press release, Irsay will donate a whole $1 to the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund for every ticket distributed to the Colts preseason game against the Washington Redskins Friday.

The Colts meanwhile will encourage each of those fans who bought those very expensive tickets to contribute $10.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to applaud Irsay for this "charitable" move. Irsay shakes down Indianapolis taxpayers for hundreds of millions of dollars, then when has a chance to do something for the community, he hands out change.  Disgusting.  The minute Peyton Manning is gone and the franchise starts losing, this cheapskate owner who has nothing but contempt for the people of Indianapolis, will be run out of the City on a rail.
