The Cleveland Redskins changed their name to show the world just how stupid woke they are. Only problem is that the team was named in honor of Louis Francis Sockalexis who was the first American Indian to play commercial baseball. They are now known as the Cleveland Guardians - after some statues: "The Guardians of Traffic" They watch a bridge.
Thanks to Don Surber, we find out that there is already an athletic team called The Cleveland Guardians.
From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer:
Social media buzzing over another Cleveland Guardians team in wake of Indians announced name change

But whether that poses any problems for the Major League Baseball club remains to be seen.
Heh - should have looked before you leaped.
