Seahawks Owner Defends Steelers Fandom

New Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla responded to criticism after admitting he remains a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. 'Reporters will make every molehill into a mountain just to get column inches,' Khosla tweeted. He explained his 1976-78 time at CMU in Pittsburgh got him excited about the NFL and emphasized his commitment to the Seahawks: '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.'

Khosla's comments came after his first press conference since the team sale approval, where he revealed his continued allegiance to the Steelers. The Barstool Sports tweet that highlighted his admission suggested this was not the ideal message for a new Seahawks owner to deliver. chickenroad.qpon
