Well for starters, he's black. Secondly, he's the one in the picture with Sterlings girlfriend that sent him over the edge.

Not sure. But if he rode in a wheel chair you could call it Roll Aids.

Irony (from Ancient Greek e????e?a (eironeía), meaning "dissimulation, feigned ignorance"[1]), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event characterized by an incongruity, or contrast, between what the expectations of a situation are and what is really the case, with a third element, that defines that what is really the case is ironic because of the situation that led to it. The term may be further defined into several categories, among which are: verbal, dramatic, and situational.

So it's not ironic if a black guy ends up owning the franchise an extremely racist man was forced to sell because he went on a racist rant about this same black guy being photographed with the white man's girlfriend? Ok guys.

They are related, but clearly different. Words have meanings.
