The Seattle Seahawks' new owner has admitted to being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.A group led by Vinod Khosla, who previously was a San Francisco 49ers limited partner, bought the Seahawks for $9.612 billion. That sale was approved unanimously by other NFL owners on August 27 after an agreement with the Paul G. Allen estate was reached in July. When Khosla spoke at a press conference following the approval, he revealed that he has been a Steelers fan ever since coming to the United State from India in 1976 due to the fact that the franchise was coming off of a pair of Super Bowl wins in 1974 and 1975.Khosla added that he still tunes in to Pittsburgh's games as well."I also happened to come to this country in '76 when the Steelers were winning Super Bowls, so actually I was originally, and still am, a big Steelers fan also," Khosla said. "Little-known fact, but I still watch all the Steelers games too."— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) August 27, 2026Steelers' Steel Curtain DynastyKhosla certainly isn't alone in terms of becoming a Steelers fan when they were in the midst of their dynasty run back in the mid-to-late 1970s.The defining trait of those squads was their imposing defense, which was aptly nicknamed the Steel Curtain. From the defensive line group of "Mean" Joe Greene, L.C. Greenwood, Dwight White and Ernie Holmes to linebackers Jack Ham, Jack Lambert and Andy Russell as well as cornerback Mel Blount and safeties Donnie Shell and Mike Wagner, among others, there was no shortage of legends and future Hall of Famers on those units.With Terry Bradshaw at quarterback, Franco Harris at fullback, Mike Webster at center and John Stallworth and Lynn Swann at wide receiver, those Pittsburgh teams had an embarrasment of riches on the offensive side of the ball.Sep 26, 1976; Pittsburgh, PA, USA; FILE PHOTO; Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle (68) LC Greenwood in action against the New England Patriots at Three Rivers Stadium.

Regardless, those Steel Curtain teams helped bring in a ton of new fans and put the franchise firmly on the map as one of the sport's premier and most recognizable organizations, with that reputation still being sustained to this day.Make sure to bookmark Steelers On SI, and find our podcast All Steelers Talk on YouTube or anywhere you listen!Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
