I'm pretty sure the decision to move HIS team from Cleveland to Baltimore was based on advice from his financial and legal advisers. I don't understand how someone is "tainted" for making smart business decisions. I think most people who are upset by such things look at it from a purely emotional point of view. Remember, profession sports is 100% business.

He would have gone bankrupt if he didn't move the team. If I remember correctly he wasn't getting much help from Ohio so he pretty much had to move the team.
Its the way of the league If you build it we will move!!!
