Sports fans are by nature an emotional lot — and the sale of the Seahawks has shown many fans to be very up in their feels, as the kids say.

As the Khosla family prepares to take over with a $9.6 billion purchase, some fans are illogically concerned the out-of-staters will look to move the franchise. Some doofuses even wonder why the Paul Allen Estate did not sell to a local buyer, apparently not understanding that high bid wins.

There are even morons who think the Khoslas – longtime 49ers fans — spent nearly $10 billion just to sabotage the Seahawks franchise, basically burning all of that money. That’s laughable.

Other people are deathly afraid the new owners will become the next Jerry Jones. A bunch of local media folks have publicly forewarned the Khoslas not to meddle in the football business of John Schneider and Mike Macdonald. And then, of course, there are the disgusting racists and jingoists who are upset the new owners are non-white immigrants.

It’s all quite a lot of ignorance from a subset of Seahawks fans. Disappointing, but not unexpected. People are pretty dumb, and the average sports fan is even dumber than the average Joe.

Here is how everyone should view this purchase.

The Khoslas clearly are big NFL fans. They have lived in the Bay Area for decades, so it is pretty obvious why they became 49ers fans. Now they will be Seahawks fans/owners. Even better for them.

And yes, they will have to divest their 3% interest in the 49ers, which they just acquired in 2025. They clearly are very happy to do so as they become majority owners of one of the league’s 32 franchises – the Super Bowl champions, no less.

It is incredibly stupid of emotional Seahawks fans to have a problem with the Khoslas switching NFL allegiances. It’s the same as Kenneth Walker III going to Kansas City – no one should be pissed at him for getting a bigger share there than he could get in Seattle. The Khoslas are getting a bigger share of an NFL team by moving from the 49ers to the Seahawks.

The Khoslas are not the first minority-share NFL owners who have moved on to become majority owners elsewhere. One-time Steelers minority owners Josh Harris (Washington), David Tepper (Carolina) and Jimmy Haslam (Cleveland) all bought their own teams.

Some fans are concerned that no local owner bought the Seahawks, but clearly the best bid came from the Khoslas. It really should not have to be explained that high bid wins. Apparently there was not a local bidder among the finalists — no surprise considering the amount of money involved.

That leads to the big concern about the California-based Khoslas moving the franchise. Even if they wanted to, the NFL would not allow it. Ken Behring was not allowed to move the Seahawks after he ruined the franchise in the 1990s, which is what led to Paul Allen buying the team. This Seattle club is at the top of the NFL hierarchy right now, with a sold-out stadium and season-ticket waiting list, so there is no chance it is going anywhere.

Allen was a hands-off owner. He knew everything that was going on but rarely influenced football business. His reported directive to Schneider to stop negotiating with Kam Chancellor amid the safety’s idiotic 2015 holdout was a rare exception.

Jody Allen continued that ownership style, which led to another Super Bowl title earlier this year.

There is a lot of concern that the Khoslas will meddle, messing up a good thing, and local opinionists like Brock Huard, Aaron Levine and Matt Calkins have tried to warn the new owners to take a lesson from the Allen family.

The NFL memo about the sale said Neeru Khosla, wife of family patriarch Vinod, will be the controlling owner and son Neal “would be expected to have a significant leadership role in the ownership group.”

We’ll hear more from them after the purchase is official, but for now we have a brief statement from Vinod that sure makes it sound like they approach this ownership with humility.

“We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks,” he said. “We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere.”

We should take him at his word. Hold off the judging until we see how the Khoslas actually run the team.

Lastly, for the despicable racists who have a problem with legal, uber-successful immigrants from India owning the Seahawks, let’s make one thing super clear: Mike Macdonald and John Schneider definitely do NOT want your support. Ever.

The rest of us will keep rooting for this team and enjoy the Super Bowls that Macdonald and Schneider are going to win for the Khoslas.
