President Donald Trump may be all on board for having the Washington Commanders revert their team name, but the D.C. mayor and the team's GM are paying him no mind.

The Commander-in-Chief has tried to tie a new D.C. stadium for the Commanders to a return to the abandoned nickname.

When President Donald Trump reopened a long-closed conversation about the name of the Washington NFL team, he and others implied that liberal thinking forced the venerable franchise to change its name from Redskins to Commanders in 2022.

The Washington franchise has changed away from its nickname twice, first changing from Redskins in 2020 before its most recent change to Commanders in 2022.

The team and the league could be hoping that he wasn’t serious, and that perhaps he was trying to get people talking about something other than what they have been talking about.
