I went from feeling concerned about a family with 49ers ties owning the Seahawks to relieved @vkhosla@nealkhosla and Neeru Khosla are in line to become the new owners.
I explained why in this emergency pod:

“I hope this new ownership group takes a page, or 100, out of the Allen playbook about what it means to be great owners.”
@BrockHuard shares his reaction to the group led by the Khosla family agreeing to buy the #Seahawks.
Memo just sent to all NFL teams regarding the agreement to sell the Seattle Seahawks for a record $9.612 billion:
“Following a thorough sales process run by Allen & Co., the Estate of Paul Allen has reached agreement to sell the Seattle Seahawks to the Khosla family and several limited partners, subject to membership review and approval. Allen & Co. reported very robust interest in the Club throughout the process, with the Khosla group emerging as the Club’s preferred buyer among multiple qualified bidders. The Khosla family currently owns a limited partner interest in the San Francisco 49ers and would be required to divest that interest. The Khosla family includes Neeru Khosla, who would serve as the controlling owner, Vinod Khosla, and their son Neal Khosla. Neeru Khosal is an educator and entrepreneur. Vinod Khosla is a tech investor who co-founded Sun Microsystems and currently runs Khosla Ventures, which he founded. Neal Khosla is the CEO of Curai, an AI healthcare company. Neal would be expected to have a significant leadership role in the ownership group. Allen & Co. has kept us informed throughout the process, and the Commissioner and League staff have had discussions with the Khosla family and its representatives. We have also commenced both review of key transaction documents and customary due diligence on the prospective ownership group. As this work progresses, we will report to the Finance Committee, which will review the transaction in advance of the membership’s consideration.”

It is not in bowing the knee to idols that idolatry consists, so much as in the internal homage of the heart; as in feeling towards them, any of that supreme love, or reverence, or gratitude, which God reserves to himself as his own exclusive prerogative.
THE GRAND FINALE! Watch to the end as @POTUS & @FLOTUS watch with thousands of others the epic conclusion to the largest fireworks show in the history of America

America is the only nation in the world that is founded on a creed. That creed is set forth with dogmatic and even theological lucidity in the Declaration of Independence; perhaps the only piece of practical politics that is also theoretical politics and also great literature.
