Yesterday Ohio Rep Mike Duffey asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to consider suing the Columbus Crew and MLS to keep the team in town if they move to leave. DeWine considered and has now committed to legal action if required according to a statement released today.
The statement confirmed that the AG is firmly in the Save The Crew camp with the ending paragraph providing the rational for the move.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office has reviewed the law passed after the Browns’ move. We believe the evidence will show that this law would apply to the Columbus Crew and Mapfre Stadium.
