Coming up with Howard Schultz shows that AI is still prone to hallucinations. There should be laws passed to prevent him from ever buying another Seattle sports team.

I am a sailor. Ellison pours tons of cash into his Americas Cup teams. He seems to hire competent people and lets them do their thing. I think he would be a great candidate.
Larry bought our failing tennis garden, rebuilt the stadiums, and now it's 5th after the Grand Slams of Wimbledon, US/French/Australia opens. What I enjoy the most is the Larry and Bill show (see pic), these two never hide in lux boxes, and at Larry's invite, Nubo opened and maintains a restaurant year-round. 1772332759735

Key potential buyers and interested parties mentioned:
  • Jeff Bezos: The Amazon founder is frequently cited as the most logical, high-profile suitor due to his immense wealth and strong local ties, though some reports suggest he may not be pursuing the team.
  • Larry Ellison: The Oracle co-founder has long been interested in owning a professional sports franchise and has the financial means.
  • Steve Ballmer: The Los Angeles Clippers owner and former Microsoft executive has deep Seattle ties.
  • Elon Musk: Despite social media rumors and high-value speculation, there is no verified evidence that he is formally pursuing the Seahawks.
  • Other Potential Investors: Bill Gates, MacKenzie Scott, Howard Schultz, and Canadian billionaire Steve Apostolopolous have been mentioned as potential, less-likely candidates.
That's what they came up with.
I don't want ANY of these people. Don't know who I would want, but NO one on this list.

Not knowing much about most of those people mentioned, Balmer would be at the top of my list.

Gates has taken himself out of the running as he's said publicly that he has no interest in owning a sports franchise, and even if he was interested, there's no way the league is going to take on another owner who is embroiled in the Epstein scandal.

How in the heck did Howard Schultz appear on that list? He'd be a PR disaster.

Just be a good owner, keep the team in Seattle, don't get too hands on. That's all I care about. ZERO chance Schultz owns the team. Nope.

Balmer may be the most out from what I read, going back back back to a Family professional type situation in the Microsoft days. I am sure most money is important, family pride moreso.
