Art was a smart businessman who made a lot of money by moving to Baltimore. The only important thing in life is how much money you have. If his move upset you, then you invest way too much time in the entertainment business.Tiernan;1267666 wrote:Art Modell is definitely greater "dead".
Keep in mind, Clevelanders didn't support their team all that much either.
I learned all of this on the political boards. I love the intelligentsia that enlighten me so here on the Chatter.

Art Modell may have been THE smartest businessman on the whole F'n planet but that doesn't mean he was any less of a total asshole. It kills me how people use the "smart businessman" argument to justify screwing over the populace of an entire geographical region of the country. I personally was never a huge Browns fan but my old man was and he passed away in 1996 a little less happier than he was before the Browns left town. FU Art.
