The Relocation of the Cleveland Browns
The Cultural Nexus of Sport and Business: The Relocation of the Cleveland Browns Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew David Linden, B.A. Graduate Program in Education and Human Ecology The Ohio State University 2012 Thesis Committee: Dr. Melvin L. Adelman, Advisor Dr. Sarah K. Fields Copyright by Andrew David Linden 2012 Abstract On November 6, 1995, Arthur Modell announced his intention to transfer the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore after the conclusion of the season. Throughout the ensuing four months, the cities of Cleveland and Baltimore, along with Modell, National Football League (NFL) officials and politicians, battled over the future of the franchise. After legal and social conflicts, the NFL and Cleveland civic officials agreed on a deal that allowed Modell to honor his contract with Baltimore and simultaneously provided an NFL team to Cleveland to begin play in 1999. This settlement was unique because it allowed Cleveland to retain the naming rights, colors, logo, and, most significantly, the history of the Browns. This thesis illuminates the cultural nexus between sport and business. A three chapter analysis of the cultural meanings and interpretations of the Browns‘ relocation, it examines the ways in which the United States public viewed the economics of professional team sport in the United States near the turn of the twenty-first century and the complex relationship between the press, sports entrepreneurs and community. First, Cleveland Browns‘ fan letters from the weeks following Modell‘s announcement along with newspaper accounts of the ―Save Our Browns‖ campaign convey that the reaction of Cleveland‘s populace to Modell‘s announcement was tied to their antipathy toward the city‘s negative national notoriety and underscored their feelings toward the city‘s urban ii decline in the late 1990s. -

PAGE 2 OF 360 INTRODUCTION THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT 2014-15 EDITION PREFACE One of the greatest values of an “elective” course like sports and entertainment marketing is its ability to transform the classroom into a dynamic atmosphere where progressive “new age” learning can take place while reinforcing the same academic standards students learn within the confines of a generic business or marketing class. The examples used to support each lesson resonate on a different level for students thanks to course content that most students take a genuine interest in. Unfortunately, many instructors today wishing to integrate elective studies into the classroom face the inevitable challenge of being handcuffed by severe budget constraints. Sports Career Consulting, LLC (SCC) understands the current budget crises and is empathetic to the needs of the school system. -
The Super Fan: Sport’S New Market Inefficiency Gerald W
1 The Super Fan: Sport’s New Market Inefficiency Gerald W. White II 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sport in American culture has become one of the largest growing industries in the world over the course of the last century, and along with it has been the development of sport fandom. Sport fandom has not only become part of our daily enjoyment, but it has become part of how we identify ourselves. Levels of fandom can vary by personal investment, as some fans identify with their favorite teams stronger than others, and in some small cases, fans reach a level of “super fandom.” Often, when a fan reaches this level they become public figures that are identified by other fans as an unofficial representative or mascot of a fan base. Many examples of this can be pointed out across every major professional sports league and also at the collegiate level, such as famous New York Jets fan, “Fireman Ed,” longtime Dallas Cowboys attendee, “Crazy Ray,” Boston Red Sox fanatic, Mike Schuster, the ever popular Laurence Leavy, a.k.a, “Marlins Man,” Denver Broncos fan, “Barrel Man,” Ohio State Buckeyes fan, “Buck-I-Guy,” and Florida Gators legend, “Mr. Two Bits.” In the case of Texas Christian University, there’s “Frog Daddy.” Because I’m related to Frog Daddy, I took it upon myself as an undergrad in 2014 to develop and grow his popularity by harnessing the power of social media, and independently created a Twitter account for him. Now, not only can his presence be seen at sporting events, but his voice can be heard in an online platform. -
