Why not 96 billion. Owning a major sports franchise is like being a duke in England 500 years ago. It’s the closest thing to aristocracy, at least for rich people who aren’t in the movies or on TV.

ownership group led by the Khosla family<<<<<<<

My bet he will have co-buyers from India and living there too. IOW NFL greed boys/owners will vote that foreign money is OK to buy into the NFL

There are many very rich Indians from the Great HB1 scam. Let’s see some become co-owners of the Seahawks.

Wow! Pre JJ (Jerry Jones), I never missed a Cowboys game and attended many. God Bless Tom Landry and Roger Staubach, Bob Lily and Emmett Smith, to name just a few of my “football” heroes back then!

Post JJ, I have NEVER seen a full Cowboys game on TV or been to a Cowboys game. Then there is pond scum, hate America, Roger Goodell who loves to rub LGBTQ bs in the face of 65% of Americans even though only 3.4% of those polled say they are queer, then there’s the hair hanging down to the asses of many players as they run down the field, then there’s the scum bag owners and I’m sure I could name a few more.

Wow, 9.6 billion for a scumbag team from a growing, hate America, LGQBT, communist town. Now I know whey I’m reminded of why I have not had a TV in my house in 20 years.

The prices are astronomical nowadays.

I remember Howard Hughes wanting to buy ABC.

There were 4.7 million shares outstanding selling at about $60/share before his offer.

So when NFL games all go “pay per view” how many households will pay? Some will,of course. But I sue as hell won’t...just as I refuse to pay for MLB...NBA...NHL.

America is rapidly becoming and Indian colony in the Western Hemisphere. Next up, Pamila Gorilla will be running for President with Hakeem Skyhook as her VP boy.

You have to wonder how much money the State of WA will make off the 7% Capital Gains tax? As this isn’t real estate or a retirement account. Probably depends on how the sale is structured.

For federal capital gains, usually there is a step up in value at the time of death.
