Trump threatens to restrict stadium deal with Washington Commanders if they don’t change name back to ‘Redskins’
Trump on Sunday escalated his call for the Washington Commanders to change their name back to the “Redskins,” threatening to restrict the NFL team’s stadium deal if they don’t, though it’s unclear how he would be able to.
“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington. The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The organization left Washington for Landover, Maryland, in 1997, but DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and the team announced a deal in April to bring the Commanders back to the district at the site of the old Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. Trump touted the deal at the time, but the proposal is stalled before the DC Council.

The Washington football team dropped the “Redskins” name in 2020 after decades of criticism from Native American groups that said it was an ethnic slur and a derogatory reference to skin color. Two years later it unveiled the “Commanders” name.
The Cleveland baseball team announced its name change in 2021, after similar criticism from Native Americans over the “Indians” moniker.

He really thinks he has dictatorial powers that allow him to intervene in everything. Delusional bastard.
Oh, how I hope the Washington Commanders would tell him to fuck off.

And this is why people voted for him. They feel that the country is out of control with political correctness and Trump will fix all of their social grievances. This is the shit they love him doing. This includes getting rid of those pesky illegals and overturning abortion to get women back in the kitchen where they belong. I’m telling you, this shit works in most of America. Past Republicans wouldn’t dare say shit like this but Trump will and that makes them feel heard. Who cares if they can’t afford to eat.

R6, he got them to get rid of Colbert. It’s right in the 2025 playbook. He’s going to withhold resources to force control. It’s working.
