1. sanny manguillen Posted: July 28, 2021 at 11:31 AM (#6030890)The Website MLB Couldn't Buy.
I have a bit of sympathy for the roller derby people, they have a reasonable claim on it at least. The NY company seems to have already been dealt with they are just dotted "I"s and crossing "T"s.
So... I don't suppose anointing one of the partners at Morgan, Lewis and Bockius the next commissioner was part of the deal. Because coincidentally or not, that is what happened.
Maybe from Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger and McCormick. (Or Dewey, Cheatem and Howe!)
I'm not here to judge.
How do you know that they didn't take care of it already? This article is pure speculation. No comments from the team, nothing. This is someone noticing that the domain is owned and then deciding that it could be an issue. The default assumption would be that the team has already bought the name, or that they don't want it. Nothing in this article gives any information that it isn't the case.
By the way, going to the website just now, I see somebody posted content just last week recruiting for the 2022 season (I'd imagine covid forced men's roller derby to shut down). So somebody at the derby Guardians is awake and clearly the Cleveland baseball franchise did not own the site on July 24.
The more likely scenario I think is that they have tried to line up their ducks but not everybody is playing along ... and they decided that it was still more important/valuable to get the name change out there now than to wait until all the ducks are ready.

DING we have a winner, IMO.
(Also, by random chance and life circumstance I know the MLB trademark lawyer, and when I asked they officially clammed up completely on this, so I'd imagine there are various legal things going on as well.)
