Crew owner, MLS dispute lawsuit

COLUMBUS – Precourt Sports Ventures, which owns Crew SC, and Major League Soccer, said in a statement Tuesday night they “strongly disagree” with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and the city of Columbus’ use of the so-called Modell Law to try to keep the team from relocating to Austin, Texas, according to a report in The Columbus Dispatch.

The statement came in response to DeWine and Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein announcing Monday they had filed a lawsuit against PSV and MLS in Franklin County.
