If you were wondering what gets me through this job, it’s shoehorning something I want to write about into a sports story.

As someone who prefers Marvel comics to DC — you can like both but every nerd has a favorite child — I find DC’s attempt to replicate Marvel Studios’ somewhat coherent movie IP charming.

It had to be Germany
Most English fans, if not all of them, would have been nodding their heads when the final whistle of W Euro 2022’s second semifinal sounded.

The Cleveland Guardians name situation keeps getting uglier
The team formerly known as the Cleveland Indians is being sued over their non-rights to the name “Cleveland Guardians.” The Cleveland Guardians moniker is already trademarked by a roller derby team located in Parma, one of the suburbs of Cleveland. However, that hasn’t stopped Cleveland’s MLB franch...

Cleveland baseball has a new name, and the merch is gonna be sweet
A professional sports team that previously had a moniker representative of Native American culture that vowed to change its name has done so.
