It’s an interesting Thursday in the world of potential professional sports ownership apparently. Earlier, a report from Front Office Sports was released with some interesting news: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook are among the potential suitors to purchase the Seattle Seahawks. This of course is relevant due to the Seahawks’ impending sale from the Paul G. Allen estate. However, there is pushback.
Shortly after the story regarding Zuckerberg and Cook’s alleged interest in the Seahawks, Dylan Byers from Puck News took to Twitter with a strong denial. According to Byers, sources close to both Zuckerberg and Cook are strongly denying this story.
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. https://t.co/1vvf9p0jkL

It is interesting they were so quick to issue a denial to what would otherwise be a massive story. Two of the most well-known, wealthy and influential men in American with their eyes set on the NFL? Of course, time will tell if this really was all bluster from Front Office Sports, or if perhaps those two truly are far more interested in joining this particularly exclusive club.
Again, as always, we at Seahawks Wire will continue to monitor this story and report on any developments.
