White promised that "as long as there is no team in Cleveland, there will be no peace." Glenn and Stokes said they would introduce in their respective Houses a bill called the Fans Rights Act, which would 1) grant a limited antitrust exemption shielding a professional sports league from a lawsuit if the league blocks a relocation, and 2) require a team intending to move to give 180 days' notice...
