The City of Cleveland, not the NFL, threatened legal action agents Model. Keeping the name and logo in Cleveland was a part of a compromise that allowed them to leave.


Yes, and part of that compromise was that Modell use his influence in the NFL to get Cleveland another NFL team within a year. That is why Cleveland had a replacement team so quickly, whereas Baltimore had to wait about 15 years for another team.

I know you had some people in the area who gravitated towards the Redskins during that time but did the residents as a whole continue to fill up the bars during football season during the era the city was without an NFL team?

You do?

I know alot of people/Colt fans and NONE became Redskin fans.
