Aditya Mittal, a member of one of India’s richest families and an investor in the Boston Celtics, along with former Celtics control owner Wyc Grousbeck, are preparing a bid for the NFL champion Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple people familiar with the process.

Interesting and while wikipedia isn't too reliable, I didn't see any "Controversy" sections with them either.



Well....so long as they keep the Seahawks in Seattle, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be a strong candidate.

Sounds like he has a business relationship already as of last year with Grousbeck.. he bought into the ownership group of the Celtics

I don't follow NBA that much. Are the Celtics considered well run? Does ownership meddle?

I know they’re a very good team and have been good for a while, don’t much besides that

The Celtics are an exceptionally-run organization. They basically just let Brad Stevens, who is arguably the John Schneider of the NBA, do his thing and get out of the way.

I like it ^^

Keep ownership local please

Well, anyone who donates £15M for a new wing at a kids hospital is automatically a better option than Lizard Face and his soulless tech bro empire. So there’s that, at least?

Basketball fans might want to chime in on Grousbeck?

That sounds good, at least. Last thing we need is a meddlesome owner, or to be a vanity purchase for some clueless techbro.

This sounds legit. Guys nobody knows about. Any report that went straight to naming the famous and controversial billionaires was always gonna be clickbait to me.

And it shows that maybe they are shopping to an exclusive clientele.

I don't know about this. I want someone with PNW ties.

 

[MoldyPurpleMayo]

Wouldn't this be considered a conflict of interest? Having a stake in two rival teams?

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I'm sure he will be forced to sell his minority interest if it gets that far.

Guy who made his money building steel in India. I’d bet there would be plenty of controversy but it happened in India and not the US

 

[Atradees]

They paid alot for the Celtics. 7 Billion. Sounds like deep pockets. Dundon's group bought Blazers for 4.25 Billion. If in a bidding war they might win.

 

[IndyHawk]

One of those two is based in Britain, likely the Hawks will play
two over there like the Jaguars do.

Just need to know are they the owners that ran the Celtics into the Ground that almost got then relocated?
