Seahawks will go up for sale after Super Bowl

Sad to hear but I can't blame the timing of it, it likely will never be more valuable coming off of the Super Bowl and with the World Cup.

Ok I will mark you down. We are already up to $2400!

$8 billion / $1200 = 6,666,666 investors so we just need to find 6,666,664 million people to commit $1200 and we are good to go!

Couple of slimeball espn hacks putting this out there when there's no way Jodie or the Seahawks released it to anyone. Tabloid level stuff whether it's true or not.

I'll throw my hat in the ring! I'm good for $12K, just so I can be a majority owner over Darren. Lol!

This is from King5
SEATTLE — A report that the Seattle Seahawks would be put up for sale after Super Bowl LX drew a swift response from the estate of late owner Paul G. Allen, which said the team is not currently on the market.

ESPN, citing league and ownership sources, reported that the Seahawks would go up for sale after the upcoming Super Bowl, ending years of questions about the franchise’s long-term ownership. ESPN reported that sale discussions had taken place at league and ownership levels.

But a spokesperson for the Paul G. Allen Estate disputed the idea that a sale is imminent.

“We don’t comment on rumors or speculation, and the team is not for sale,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “We’ve already said that will change at some point per Paul’s wishes, but I have no news to share. Our focus right now is winning the Super Bowl and completing the sale of the Portland Trail Blazers in the coming months.”

At the time of Allen's death, the Seattle-born co-founder of Microsoft, was the owner of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers as well as the Seahawks and a 25% stake in the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer (MLS). Allen's will directs his sister, Jody, to eventually sell his sports holdings and allocate all the estate proceeds to charity.

Heard that! So this is just like when that Dumb Fuck Carzano did the same thing a few years ago and everyone freaked out and it was complete bullshit. They are just regurgitating the clause in the Trust that has no finite deadline. Idiots.
