Native American groups had fought for years to get Washington's NFL team to change its name. Trump just renewed the battle.

Trump said Sunday on social media that he “may put a restriction” on the Commanders' anticipated deal with the District of Columbia government to build a new stadium in the nation’s capital “if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders.'"

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump is serious about wanting the NFL's Washington Commanders to go back to the name Redskins.

History, it has been said, is written by the winners. President Donald Trump is working that lever of power — again.

President Trump isn't kidding around with his new threat to the NFL's Washington Commanders, the White House says.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump is serious about wanting the NFL's Washington Commanders to go back to the name Redskins.

When the president urged the Washington Commanders to revert to their old nickname, it marked a renewal of hostilities with America’s most popular sports league.

Scott Turner, the HUD secretary and former Washington Redskins defensive back, backed President Donald Trump's push to change the Commanders' nickname.
