The only difference between men and boys are the size of their shoes and the price of their toys.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is preparing to spend millions on a Fender guitar Kurt Cobain played in the âSmells Like Teen Spiritâ music video, but not just because it’s a cool piece of memorabilia to own.
Via PFT:
“The item in question is a Fender guitar Kurt Cobain played in the âSmells Like Teen Spiritâ music video. And Irsay opened the bidding at $2 million because Cobainâs heirs have pledged that a portion of the proceeds will go to Kicking The Stigma, an Irsay family initiative for mental health.
âThis guitar is big, and it relates so much to stigma,â Irsay said, via the Indianapolis Star. âWhen you have a mental illness, people die. These are fatal diseases â bipolar, schizophrenia, post-partem depression, alcoholic addictions. With fatal diseases, people die and they donât choose to die. Those of us who are alive, weâre not stronger or better. We didnât get our act together more. We didnât have more character. Thatâs where itâs so false.â

A portion of the proceeds will go to a mental health cause that he cares deeply about.
These NFL owners have more money than they know what to do with.
Best of luck to Irsay on the guitar.
