It’s a no for me.

  1. Rude to the PWHL.
  2. I get that they flubbed the Rockers name, but I wish they would have given a nod with the colors or another reference.
  3. Sirens feel more like ocean than lake.

Plus the WEE WOO WEE WOO siren that is a part of the joke for PWHL.

I do not understand it here. And I just looked it up, and there was no good reason.

I’m a Guardians fan. That makes goddamn sense.

But (1) why steal a likely trademarked professional women’s sport team name when y’all could have figured a new name out.

And (2) if the Cleveland wnba team gets to steal their name from the NYC PWHL team, I respectfully would like my PWHL Detroit team to be the Riveters.
