Could the Cleveland Browns finally do something good for the State of Ohio? State Representative Mike Duffey thinks so.
Section 9.67 of the Ohio Revised Code became law in 1996 after former Browns owner Art Modell relocated the NFL franchise to Baltimore. The Columbus-based representative made an appeal to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
DeWine heard the case and is pursuing legal action against Precourt Sports Ventures and Major League Soccer. The lawmaker announced on March 5 that the State of Ohio is suing Precourt Sports Ventures.
#BREAKING: My office, and the city of Columbus, has filed a lawsuit against Precourt Sports Ventures, the operator/investor of @ColumbusCrewSC, & @MLS, to protect taxpayer interests & ensure they follow the law if they seek to move the team to TX.
