It has been just over a year to the day when it was announced to the soccer world that Anthony Precourt, owner of Columbus Crew SC, was trying to move the team away from its home in Columbus and to Austin, Texas. In that year, there has been a lot made about this move, and how Precourt never really tried to make Columbus work after buying it from the Hunt family, and the move to Austin was his plan all along after buying the Crew.
Precourt made it known to everyone that he wanted to move the team, and he was almost able to get away with it too, if it wasn’t for Jimmy Haslam and his contingency.
