New Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla has defended his admission of being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, responding to criticism that emerged during his first press conference after the team sale approval. Khosla took to Twitter to address the backlash, stating that his fandom from his 1976-78 period at CMU doesn't affect his commitment to the Seahawks. sportnewz.click

"What's wrong with admitting my 1976-78 period in Pittsburgh got me excited about the NFL?" Khosla wrote. "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 over every other team!!!!" The reaction to his comments was widespread, with Barstool Sports noting that revealing lifelong allegiance to a rival team might not be ideal during an opening press conference.
