Seahawks fans may not be getting that Mark Zuckerberg surprise
For Seattle Seahawks fans, the issue might simply come down to which person or website you believe more. Ultimately, the answer about whether Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg will submit a bid to buy the team or not will become clear, but for now, who knows?
Initially, Front Office Sports (not NFL insiders Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, mind you) reported that the Facebook head was interested in purchasing the Seahawks, who have been officially up for sale since late February. One would assume bids could be put forth at any point, but if bidding has occurred, it is unknown who has done so.
Following the FOS rumor, Dylan Byers of The Puck dismissed the report by tweeting, "This isn't true. Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook are not considering bids for the Seattle Seahawks, per sources close to both men. Period, full stop."
Report of Mark Zuckerberg potentially submitting bid for the Seattle Seahawks dismissed
One might assume that neither FOS nor Byers knows for sure who or who hasn't submitted a bid because it's, well...literally none of their business. Neither the NFL nor the Seahawks is going to broadcast who is interested in buying the team because it could create an unfair advantage for another bidder.
After all, Zuckerberg has a net worth of north of $200 billion, and if a person with less money thinks he will submit a bid, they might not. Or maybe Elon Musk hates Zuckerberg and wants him to be sad, so Musk, who has even more money, submits a bid that is something the Facebook founder wouldn't be comfortable with.
Of note, how well Zuckerberg and Musk get along isn't known, so the above is just a suggestion, not a fact. (We don't want to get sued, of course.)
The new owner of the Seattle Seahawks will likely be someone with less name recognition than Mark Zuckerberg or Tim Cook of Apple, who Front Office Sports also suggested might submit a bid. What is clear is that the person or persons will have a lot of money, as the team could sell for as much as $9 billion. The amount it takes to fill up a tank of gas for a Chevrolet Suburban, for instance.
The hope is also that whoever purchases the team will keep the culture the same. The Seahawks have a sterling reputation for how they treat all of their employees, and no fan wants that to change.
