Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla responds to critics of his Steelers fandom

New Seattle owner Vinod Khosla wants to make it clear that that his love of the Steelers won't interfere with his devotion to the Seahawks.

Seattle Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla has responded to critics who questioned his love for the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite now owning the Super Bowl-winning franchise. In an X post on August 28, Khosla dismissed the criticism, stating that his admiration for the Steelers since his teenage years in Pittsburgh does not affect his commitment to the Seahawks.

The 1970s Steelers, known for their four Super Bowl championships and the Steel Curtain defense, were a significant reason Khosla became a football fan. He affirmed his unconditional support for the Seahawks, emphasizing that he wants every possible edge for his team. Khosla's wife, Neeru Khosla, is expected to become the team's controlling owner after Vinod's $9.6 billion acquisition.
