Seattle Seahawks Owner Plans to Sell the Team But Not for the Reason You Expect
The Seattle Seahawks just defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. A win like that is huge for the franchise, particularly the ownership group. Jody Allen became owner of the Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers in 2018 when her brother, Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, passed away from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. According to Fortune, Paul was worth approximately $20 billion at the time of his death. Jody inherited the teams, but Paul had a stipulation: his assets were to be sold to fund his charitable foundations, which Jody gladly obliged.
