Vince Granieri

Introducing our proposed name for Cleveland’s new WNBA team… THE Ohio Wolverines. The Midwest work ethic is a real thing. As someone who has spent a lot of time on both sides of the lake, I can tell you that Ohio and Michigan have far more similarities than differences. We’re hoping Detroit follows suit with its WNBA franchise and embraces that same spirit of regional unity by naming its new team the "Michigan Buckeyes," as Cleveland and Detroit grow the game together from the shores of Lake Erie, the Midwest’s own Mediterranean.
