After the state of Ohio gave Jimmy and Dee Haslam $600 million for the proposed move of the Cleveland Browns to Brook Park, the couple purchased a $25 million North Palm Beach, Fla. mansion three days later, according to reports.

The oceanfront home is 5,906 square feet on 1.1 acres of land. It was purchased through Dee Haslam's Knox-Main Trust.

The home, which was built in 1971, was purchased in an off-market sale. It was previously sold in 1990 for $3.2 million. It's inside the gated Lost Tree Village neighborhood.

In a situation that’s been controversial, the optics of such a move cannot be considered ideal.

That's NOT True! Using Taxpayer dollars to buy a MANSION is Good Business! Using Taxpayer Dollars to buy your Starving Children ONE Meal is WELFARE COMMUNISTM!

The US has always always always been one big grab. Land grab. Cash (gold? Oil? Oil not even in our hemisphere?). People for a brief period of time and now just in a much much more legally binding way. This time a bunch of crazy people who also happen to be insanely wealthy took a government. Not the first time and sure as fuck won't be the last.

Cities always bend over backwards for sports teams. Pandering to sports fans. No one wants to be the Mayor that denied their football team a new stadium and forced them to move to another city.

Why do you think teams started using states Instead of cities for names.

Miami dolphins ties the team to Miami, moving cities is a brand change.

But the Florida Marlins can shop around to any city in Florida that will throw the most cash at the team without a brand change.

This is a pretty good descriptor for almost everything the Browns do these days.
