Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is reportedly part of a group that will purchase the Columbus Crew soccer club of the MLS.
For the past year, the Crew were on the verge of being moved to Austin, TX, leaving Columbus without a professional soccer team.
But after a lawsuit was filed against Anthony Precourt, current owner of the Crew, it seems that he would rather sell the team instead of fighting the lawsuit in court. According to Ian Thomas of the Sports Business Daily, the Haslam’s will be part of a group that will keep the Crew in Columbus.
