Trump Presses Washington Commanders and Cleveland Teams to Revert to Former Names
President Trump threatened to block a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders if they do not revert to their former name, the Washington Redskins, amid ongoing debates over team names offensive to Native Americans. Despite no formal deal being in place, Trump expressed strong opinions on the issue, aligning with broader discussions about the appropriateness of Native American-themed mascots and team names. The team has already changed its name from the Redskins to the Commanders, but Trump and others continue to push for a return to the original name.
