On November 6, 1995, Art Modell made it official: He would finally
get his state-of-the-art stadium, but to do so, he'd have to move
his beloved Cleveland Browns to Baltimore.
While one old-guard National Football League (NFL) city mourned
the loss of its rich Sunday tradition and another celebrated, a
national uproar ensued. Fans, taxpayers, players, owners, and media
responded to the move with anger, disbelief, and heated debate.
In today's NFL, franchises like the Browns are dangled before
sports-hungry cities and states like golden carrots. Los Angeles,
Chicago, Houston, Nashville, New York, Boston, and St. Louis are
just a few of the cities affected by the "new" NFL, one in which
big money and stadium economics have replaced fan allegiance and
gridiron heroics. "Glory" now has its price.
Morgan takes you inside the deals that have changed the face of
the NFL, and profiles the powerful men who've pulled them off. By
examining the politics, economics, and drama behind the Browns'
move to Baltimore, Glory for Sale raises two important questions
that go right to the heart of modern professional football: Who
wins? Who loses?
