Florio predicts Bezos will own Hawks

[SantaClaraHawk]

Jeff Bezos could turn his attention to the Seahawks

In last night's item regarding the decision of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to not bid on the Commanders, it was suggested that he's potentially content to wait to buy a team that won't require quite as much work on the way in.

I don't think he wants anything to do with ownership of any sport, but it is a fun name to throw around on headlines.

If Bezos does want to own the Hawks, it's probably one of those vanity purchases asshole billionaires like to do. Can't imagine he'd be a good owner.

Why? the dude is immensely successful. He grew Amazon from literally nothing, shipping books himself to what Amazon is now and also a crazy successful space program in Blue Origin that puts satellites into space every month. Bezos as owner? Yes please.

Most of the owners are billionaires, right? I don't know much about Bezos, but if he keeps the team here, and does a great job, cool.

It's just hard for any potential new owner to measure up to Paul Allen and what he brought to the team and the community. After some of the Seattle sports owners, I'm still gunshy. I don't really watch or follow NBA since the Sonics got stolen. We almost lost the Seahawks to slimeball Ken Behring. I'd be just as happy to have Jody Allen hang onto the team another 10+ years and do her best to keep honoring Paul's vision and memory.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Are you kidding me? Bezos? dude is a scumbag. Don't care how successful amazon is. Bezos buys the Hawks, say goodbye. That dirtbag will sell to the first buyer. It's all about money with that dude.

He'll change the name to the Seacocks with the blue origin rocket as the logo

If Florio predicted it, it's probably not going to happen.

Exactly. Guy has throw away money and I cant imagine him doing anything other than trying to win. I'm all in for Bezos.

I think it would be cool to have the richest owner in sports again.

The validation and ego that come with being part of the most exclusive (mostly) men's club in the world is far more valuable than adding a few dollars to your $123b.

It's literally the worlds greatest flex. G5's, Iced out Pateks, 25 year old supermodels, yachts... lot's of people have them, but only 32 people on Earth own an NFL franchise.

Eventually the team will be sold, it's inevitable. All I care about is two things.

1. Would he keep the squad in Seattle
2. Is he competitive to do what it takes to win.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Do any of us know if he's a sports fan or not? Like I said, I don't know much at all about him. Just curious if he's in to sports.

I am hoping Jody makes that a contractural obligation for the sale of the team.

I said the same thing on these forums a few weeks ago and got wrecked for it.

Depends on if he's more like Paul than Jerry/Snyder. If he hires good football people and lets them run the show, then good. If he wants to show how smart he is by meddling in football affairs like the bozos I mentioned, then we are in for a bumpy ride.

**** bezos and **** amazon

last person i want owning the team.

You have a polar opposite view on Jody from fade
