Zero chance he has anywhere near enough money to actually influence anything. This would be like how Aaron Rodgers owns a piece of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Does Jody want a partner?
Does Jody need a partner?
Does Jody Enjoy having meetings?

Hawks ought to have a market value north of 3 billions, 1% of which is 30 millions, 5% is 150 millions. That means Marshawn needs a group to come up with the money. wow,

Does Jody want to deal with a group of strangers although they would be headed by Marshawn?

Now pretend you were Jody ...

1,000,000 fans, $3,000 per fan... group finance the franchise. Allow a minority ownership with a few million like Kam and Beast Mode, BWags etc. We could be like the Packers only in the PNW..... Sell stocks on the team. List it on the stock exchange....

Population of Washington 7.615 million
Population of Oregon 4.218 million
Population of Idaho 1.787 million

Total : 13.620 million, of which at least 20%+ are not adults. Let's assume 40% of adult population of these three states are Hawks fans.

So you think one out of 6.5 fans will come up with $3,000?

Please....don't forget your neighbours to the north...B.C.- Population 5,200,000+.

I'd LOVE me a piece of that pie.

Alaska fans too, I would do it and that would be 10 days of working on weekends.

Even us Alberta season ticket holders. I would jump at that opportunity to buy a sliver of the Seahawks if it was available if it meant the team stayed in PNW.

BC is like the size of Cali, Nevada, Oregon, WA, ID AZ combined. And only has 5 mill people? And maybe 200k of them care about the Seahawks.

Except the Packers "shareholders" don't actually own a piece of the team or make any profit on their "shares." They buy a useless piece of paper for a few hundred dollars. It's a scam.

I don't think there is any real chance that the team leaves Seattle. Paul bought the team for almost no other reason than to keep them there.

Jody has no reason to sell off the team. That is a big part of what Vulcan does, sports ownership. There are few people/organizations better suited to own an NFL team than Vulcan/Jody Allen.

She's only selling off Paul's toys that she and her family wouldn't use and can't justify the tens of millions or more required annually just to keep them.

An NFL franchise is a huge investment that only grows more and more valuable. Besides owning sports teams, Vulcan does a lot of investing. And a lot of that investing is about building the community.

Paul was the original tech nerd that Bezos and Musk and all the other wannabes are trying to be like. They want to make lasting impacts on society. Jody breaking up and selling off Paul's accomplishments so they no longer continue into the future is never going to happen.

I bet that they can sell that "worthless piece of paper" for a few hundred dollars or more easily. To say nothing about the hundred dollars being worth only what you can get for them being a scam. It is paper backed by nothing.
