Cleveland Browns announce early end of FirstEnergy stadium naming rights deal. In a statement, FirstEnergy CEO John Somerhalder said 'our priorities have shifted.' Those shifts, of course, include bribing Larry Householder and dealing with the fallout.
In a joint announcement on Thursday, the Cleveland Browns and FirstEnergy announced the two sides reached an"amicable decision" to end the energy giant's naming rights deal for the football stadium.
FirstEnergy in 2013 signed a 17-year, $102-million deal for the naming rights. It ends seven years early. Those shifts include bribing Larry Householder in the HB6 scandal and dealing with the ensuing avalanche of bad press, legal implications, government fines, and the likelihood that former executives will soon be indicted following the guilty verdict in the trial of Householder and Matt Borges.
