Irsay: Colts Ain’t Givin’ Up Jack!!!
Pardon my bad grammar, but the Indianapolis Star this morning is reporting Colts owner Jim Irsay is saying the Colts have no intention of ponying up any cash to help cover the $47 million operational shortfall with the Capital Improvement Board.
He repeated the line that the Colts have “contributed” $100,000,000 to the building of Lucas Oil. A claim thoroughly discredited here on IB when you look at the donation in context.
Irsay is correct on one point that the Colts are under no legal obligation to contribute anything, but as my lovely mother would say, what goes around tends to come around. And it would be unfortunate if something ever happened to the Colts and they needed the community’s support because payback can and will be a real you-know-what.
I wonder if the Colts will participate in the 500 Festival parade this year?
