Donald Trump threatened to prevent the Washington Commanders from building a new stadium unless they revert to their former name, the 'Redskins.' He expressed outrage at the team's name change, stating there is a significant desire from Native Americans to restore the name. Trump criticized name changes made for cultural sensitivity, specifically targeting the Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians. The new stadium plans involve land managed by the US National Park Service, where RFK Stadium once operated as the team's home until 1996.
"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,'" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
"Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen," Trump posted. "Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!"
