New Seahawks Owner Defends Steelers Fandom

New Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla has bristled at reaction to his admission that he remains a Steelers fan. Khosla defended his comments from his first press conference after the sale of the team was approved, saying, 'Reporters will make every molehill into a mountain just to get column inches.'

The new owner explained his Pittsburgh roots, noting he became excited about the NFL while at Carnegie Mellon University from 1976-78. 'What's wrong with admitting my 1976-78 period in Pittsburgh got me excited about the NFL?' Khosla asked. Despite his Steelers fandom, he insisted he will 'unconditionally ALWAYS as owner, want the Seahawks to win and have every edge up, EVERY TIME over every other team.' slot-chickenroad.org
