Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla defends Steelers fandom amid criticism

Vinod Khosla, the new owner of the Seattle Seahawks, acknowledged his longstanding support for the Pittsburgh Steelers during his introductory press conference. Khosla expressed that his fandom dates back to the 1970s when the Steelers won multiple Super Bowls. His comments prompted criticism, particularly due to the Seahawks' past loss to the Steelers in Super Bowl XL. Khosla addressed the backlash on social media, asserting that his allegiance to the Steelers does not affect his commitment to the Seahawks. The Seahawks are set to face the Steelers in 2027, likely raising further questions about Khosla's dual support.
