Cleveland.com opinion piece: 'What it would take for Browns fans to own their team' -Jonathan Welle
In Cleveland, community ownership could start with fans banding together, forming a cooperative association under section 1729 of Ohio’s Revised Code, pooling their money at increments of $1,000 and borrowing more, and submitting a bid to buy the Cleveland Browns from the Haslams. After making a bid, Browns fans would need to start a much larger fight -- getting Congress to force the NFL to change its monopolistic rules. The odds are long. That’s never stopped Browns fans before, writes guest columnist Jonathan Welle, Lead Organizer at Cleveland Owns, a nonprofit that starts cooperative businesses.
