The newly renamed Cleveland Guardians aren’t the only Guardians in town.
When the Cleveland Indians announced their name change last week, the move was met with a mixed reaction among baseball fans. It also raised a red flag with a local roller derby team named the… Cleveland Guardians.
That could spell trouble for the baseball club, as their neighbors on skates are the owners of the clevelandguardians.com domain, as well as social media monikers it might be interested in — @ClevelandGuardians on Instagram and Facebook.

I demand that the state of Indiana change their name to “Guardiana”.

In related news, Cher has announced that she has changed the lyrics to her 1970s number one song "Half-Breed"...
My father married up a Guardian
My mother's people were ashamed of me
Guardians said that I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Guardian Squaw"

One of the first things you do when picking a name is to make sure it isn’t trademarked.

Cleveland Geeks or Cleveland Cowards would be good names for the team.

Maybe they can get Michael Moore next time.

How about the “Cleveland Cleavers?” Their logo could be a cleaver cutting a baseball in half. Wokeness is driving the world nuts—its intended purpose.

Those two are good but I'm warming to "Cleveland Collaborators".
