Judge Rejects Request To Dismiss Lawsuit Against Crew SC

A Franklin County judge has denied the request of Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt and Major League Soccer to dismiss a lawsuit by the City of Columbus and the state seeking to block the team's move to Texas. 

The city and state cited the so-called Art Modell law, but the defendants said it does not apply to them. The case may now proceed. Negotiations to keep the team in Columbus continue. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
