Should've gone with Washington Senators and Cleveland Spiders. Commanders and Guardians are just never going to appeal to me.

Cleveland Spiders shouting out the worst team in MLB history, I like it.

They were overall pretty good until the owners fucked them over. Not unlike the A's today.

Aren't the Cleveland Guardians named after the Cleveland Guardians

I really wanted Cleveland to be the Rockers, but that didn’t happen. They could have had Charlie Sheen as their mascot.

They already have the Clash City Rockers

Cleveland does? Which sport?

They should also just pick one name for the teams, so people could reuse their schwag.

Everything in Cleveland is the Browns.

Sorry I meant "Clash City Rockers" already exists - it's a song. I'm not sure if any sports teams have the same name

I agree that Commanders and Guardians aren't good names, but Senators and Spiders are comically bad 😄

You want endless corruption scandals from pure nominative determinism and fans with a common phobia having a fear response to the name? Because that's how you get ants! 😉
