  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks officially closed their record-breaking $9.61 billion sale to the Khosla family on Thursday. The franchise, which had a 50-year history in the NFL, is now owned by Vinod Khosla, his wife Neeru, and their son Neal. This marks the first time a defending Super Bowl champion team has been sold within months of winning it all. The Khoslas will be formally introduced as the team's new owners on September 10 at Lumen Field, six and a half hours before their first game under new ownership, a matchup against the New England Patriots in the 2026 season's kickoff game. The Khosla family expressed their excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to continue the franchise's legacy. The team also announced 12 new minority owners, including Vinod Khosla's co-founder from Sun Microsystems, Mark Stevens; the Aramburuzabala family from Mexico; and several other high-profile business leaders.",
