NFL owners have unanimously approved the sale of the Seattle Seahawks to the Khosla family, according to Al Jazeera. The transaction values the reigning Super Bowl champions at $9.612 billion, a record price for an NFL franchise.

Seattle is not simply a football operation; it is a globally recognized brand in a league whose media reach and franchise values continue to rise.
