I think too big of a deal was made about the old names of the Commanders and the Guardians. But I also think Trump needs to stay out of it.

On Truth Social, the president demands the team go back to its racist Redskins name, or risk losing a new stadium. Can he actually claw it back?

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. After retiring the Redskins name and logo, the team adopted the temporary moniker of the Washington Football Team, using the same branding and uniforms from before, sans Redskins insignia.

The Commanders say they are not paying attention to President Donald Trump's comments about the team's nickname and moving back to Washington.

President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a stadium deal for Washington's football team if it doesn't restore its old name.

From 1937 to 2019, the NFL franchise in Washington was known as the "Redskins," and if the Commanders don't switch back to that name, Trump said he "won't make a deal" for them to build a new stadium.

With final passage of the deal by the D.C. Council potentially just weeks away, President Donald Trump is injecting himself into a D.C. matter where he has no formal role.

Washingtonians reacting to Donald Trump's call for the Commanders to change their name back to Redskins are not putting much stock into the president's opinion on the matter.

President Donald Trump is threatening the Commanders' NFL stadium deal if the team does not change its name back to the "Redskins," according to a recent post.

Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in the spring that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to three people with knowledge of the exchange. The disclosure came as part of a broader briefing on the re-examination of the case by F.

A day after Donald Trump threatened to hold up a deal for a new football stadium in the nation's capital if the Washington Commanders did not go back to the name Redskins, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president's comments were not a joke.
