    Seattle’s businesses are mostly sports related for Kraken and Mariners. Do the owners of these teams know how they’re connected to white nationalist merchandise? One of the others is a book store that has a lot of genealogy (hmm) and confederate crap.

        I guess I’m hoping someone will do a deep dive locally into the owners. I know some of the owners wouldn’t be cool with it, especially The Kraken. They’re minority investors, but still.

        The NHL’s Seattle Kraken have added former NFL star Marshawn Lynch and rapper Macklemore as minority investors.

        The terms of the investments were not made public. Sports bankers estimate that minority equity stake deals similar to this are generally for 1% of a team or less.

        Have you seen Macklemore’s video? https://streamable.com/vaj7al
