Seahawks sold!!!!

[Sperrydogg]

I have absolutely zero concerns about his loyalties. Pretty much every player in the NFL grew up having a favorite team and they don’t usually get drafted to that team. That doesn’t mean they aren’t going to love the team they are on and give everything they have to its success. This is tenfold for the owner. As soon as he made this deal you can bet that his favorite team is the Seahawks.

I am thankful for what the Allens gave us in the Seahawks kingdom. Any owner will be hard pressed to surpass the bar that was set.

As for our new owner(s), I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and let the cards play out. Hopefully in a few years we will all look back on this and say that all the worrying was for nothing.

Even like John Schneider, he started his career as a packer, and then came to Seattle, he built this dynasty in Seattle and now he’s Seattle all the way, the new owner is in for a good time.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Exactly.

Though I do hope in the coming years we learn more about his son since I think he'll be the one who will be around for the next 50 years or so.

That could honestly mean stability for a long time

 

[Sperrydogg]

Anyone heard from Vijay?

I miss his posts, is it racist that the new owner reminded me that I haven’t seen him in years. (Rhetorical)


Where you at/been brother?

Edit
Dang, now that I think about it, his lil mini me is probably close to graduating HS.
EFF ME, time flies

It’s not racist…

That makes me nervous having seen the Lions with the Fords for so long. The Cowboys and Bears have had "stability" at ownership too. It could be great, but there's nothing worse in sports than being stuck with bad ownership for a long time. They cant be fired.

Im cautiously optimistic, but it's difficult to not feel some trepidation until we see them in action for a little bit. Ownership makes or breaks your franchise. I couldn't go through what Redskins fans went through for two decades.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Drama drama drama, as expected. Meh. This team will be fine. This team isn't going to be moved. Ever.

 

[seabowl]

Again, it’s the son that will be running the show I would think sooner rather than later.

710 this morning was talking about having to block people who were making racist comments on the text line.
Geez man, I wish I could say I'm surprised. But I'm not. Strange times, indeed.
If his last name was Johnson or Smith................just sayin. Sad state of mind for some out there.

There's really no other way to look at it IMO. There are encouraging signs (they are low profile billionaires to date, they're all deep in technology/analytics, etc.)...but we don't know until we know. So the son's age could be the best of things or it could be the worst of things.

My only hope is that Neal doesn't turn into a Jed York type that cares more about soccer and less about training facilities for the Hawks. Vinod and Neeru are retirement age and bought the team for Neal from what I heard.

The new owners ain't getting toffee's endorsement until papa, mama, and sonny take a pic with John Schneider wearing matching clothes, and super bowl building smiles:

 

[SoulfishHawk]

And it sounds like he only had a 3 percent ownership of the Niners. Another thing that seems to be getting blown out of proportion.

 

[thegameq]

They already have a good thing going with John and Mike, so they will likely stay hands-off--mostly. They seem to smart not too.

I was watching an episode of Hawkblogger (see below) and one dipsh*t sent a Superchat making a wisecrack about Vinod's ethnicity and 7/11 at 58:38 of the vid.



Good god.....some people need to be punched in the face, man. Like seriously.

Man, what a gift. Being given the Seahawks franchise is like all of our wildest dreams...

 

[GemCity]

Yah…not a fan of racism. I know this is a FOOTBALL forum but…

No one chooses their race. We’re all simply ‘human’. The world would be a boring place without different ethnicities, cultures, etc.

IF one believes in God, you’d understand we are all his children. If you don’t believe in God, you’re still human…it’s not a hard concept to figure out yet, humanity continues to fail.

It’s 2026 ffs.

Our new owners will do just fine. Instead of the free-fall worrying approach, try to anticipate great things happening. These cats are obviously smart…connected…we may be in for a glorious ride.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Well said, Gem.

I could give 2 squirts of pee what shade of human you are - just don't be an asshole. I actively discriminate against assholes.

Best news I read was that, as a family, they are not the type to seek the limelight. Hopefully that means staying in their respective lane - They write the checks - JS et al decide how to spend them.

They come out of the wood work to be scumbags
