LeBron vs Art Modell

  Fox 8 had a poll open for voting, in which 5,377 people chose to partake in.
  
  Basically, the question was: Who is the biggest sports villain in Cleveland sports history?
  
  The results might surprise you...
  
  LeBron took home 67% of the votes.

  I started a thread on this a while back..I thought he'd be up there with Modell, a lot of cleveland fans said it wouldn't even be close (in favor of Modell). Now that it actually happened, and happened the way it did, i'm sure you'll find more people leaning towards Lebron.
  
  One thing to keep in mind, is the timing of this question. Obviously, right now is pretty heated in Cleveland, so the results will be skewed.

  No doubt, I also think it helps that Cleveland got the Browns back, albeit we haven't been that great...
  
  LeBron will never be back..

  Yeah I was like 8 when Modell moved the franchise to Baltimore...so I have no idea of the emotions involved.
  
  But I mean the city got the Browns back. Granted, it wasn't THE Browns...but still, the Browns.

  I think it is hands down Modell. Football is the most popular sport in the U.S. as well as Cleveland. A player didn't just leave, the WHOLE TEAM left, and no one knew if it would be back. Do I hate Bron for what he did, yea, but I will get over it because it is just the NBA. I absolutely hate Modell though. And I was only 9 or 10 when they left.
