Experts weigh in on 'Art Modell law' and whether it can help #SaveTheCrew. Ohio Revised Code Section 9.67 better known as the "Art Modell law" says owners whose teams use tax-supported facilities and accept financial assistance from the state are prohibited from moving to another city unless they give at least six months' notice and give individuals who live in the area an opportunity to purchase the team. The Columbus soccer team "Crew" is planning on moving to Austin, TX. The city and state want to stop it by triggering that law.
Should this be permitted?
It's soccer -- does anybody really care?
