Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla responds to critics of his Steelers fandom

New Seattle Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla clearly loves football. More specifically, he loves the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Aug. 27, Khosla admitted to becoming a football fan thanks to the famed 1970s Steelers teams who earned four Super Bowl championships and the title of team of the decade.

Some were critical of Khosla's admission, being that he now owns the Super Bowl 61-winning organization after a record $9.6 billion sale. He clapped back at the detractors on Aug. 28, making it clear that that his love of the Steelers won't interfere with his Seahawks devotion in a lengthy post on X:

"Reporters will make every molehill into a mountain just to get column inches to write or video minutes. What's wrong with admitting my 1976-78 period in Pittsburgh (CMU) got me excited about the NFL? I still watch their games doesn't mean I won't unconditionally ALWAYS as owner, want the @Seahawks to win and have every edge up, EVERY TIME over every other team!!!! Zero questions!!! At the other end is a set of teams I always want to lose every advantage. But happy to have the sports writer getting more column inches and fill their pages. You are welcome. Apologies in advance for my very transparent style," Khosla wrote.
