What are ya’ll hearing? I’ve heard that Seahawks hit the market after tonight’s win.

1. Eww

I thought he sold all his property in Seattle. He seems content living on yachts and in the White House.

2. Yah, heard that as wellll....the owner, a woman, gave to humanitarian causes, lotsa Democrats, and after this

game, she sells the team. Wish we could help her buy it back.

3. Sell to the fans

6. It's not because she didn't have money

When Paul Allen died, divestment of the Seahawks was a part of his will with some proceeds to go to philanthropy.

7. Are you thinking of McKenzie Scott?

Bezos' ex, who is giving billions to good causes?

The Seahawks are owned by the estate of Paul Allen.

10. The controlling owner of the Seahawks is Jody Allen, sister of Paul Allen.

Who Owns the Seattle Seahawks? Team Ownership Explained
The Seattle Seahawks are owned by the estate of Paul Allen, with Jody Allen serving as the trustee/chair who controls the franchise.

If you’re looking for a simple name, it’s Jody Allen, but the cleaner, fully accurate answer is: Paul G. Allen’s trust/estate owns the team, and Jody Allen oversees it.

Is Jody Allen the “owner” or just the decision-maker?
Functionally, she’s both in the way fans mean it. Multiple outlets describe the Seahawks as owned by the Paul Allen estate and controlled/overseen by Jody Allen.

So when you see “Seahawks owner Jody Allen,” it’s shorthand for her role as the franchise’s controlling figure under the estate umbrella.

4. She's getting out at peak price. Seattle wins.

5. Oh fucking god no.

Amazon needs to be broken up and Jeff Bezos needs a long prison sentence for helping to overthrow democracy.

8. I'm a 49er fan

After the last SB win (coach had announced he was retiring) the next day the rumor was Jimmy Johnson was going to be the coach. Literally almost puked.

Daughter is Seahawks fan, I’m not passing this rumor along.

9. Any sale of an NFL team requires approval by 3/4 of all owners

I would expect there are at least a few who would not be in favor of Bezos owning a team. Enough to prevent the sale? I have no idea.

Currently, only one NFL owner has net worth over $25 billion (that is Rob Walton, primary owner of the Denver Broncos at between $113 & 138 billion. Bezos net worth is close to $250 billion.

Rob Walton's wealth significantly exceeds that of any other NFL owner, often reported as being more than the combined net worth of the next nine wealthiest owners. That would mean, Bezos' wealth would likely be more than the next 20 wealthhiest owners combined (excluding Walton).

11. That will make me dislike them even more.

12. This Hawks fan doesn't want to become a vanity sports buy from a tech bro...

Actually, it doesn't appear to be happening that fast. But we're apprehensive in Seahawks land.

13. Larry Ellison is the other name i hear

Besides Bezos.
