The majority of teams are owned by super old people who inherited the team, or just inherited the team with the super old part forthcoming.
The Cardinals, Bears, Bengals, Lions, Colts, Raiders, Texans, Chiefs, Chargers, Saints, Giants, Jets, Steelers, 49ers, Buccaneers & Titans all were inherited, with the Broncos & Seahawks up in the air at the moment but you can likely add them to the list. That's 18 of the 32 teams (including Seattle & Denver) that have been passed down following the demise of the principle owner. When Jerry Jones dies the list will grow to 19.
Point is, it isn't like having an old person who lucked into owning the team by winning the birth lottery is some oddity exclusive to only a handful of teams.
