President Donald Trump expressed unprompted displeasure at the name of the NFL’s Washington Commanders on Sunday. He threatened to pull the team’s stadium deal in Washington, D.C., if they don’t change it back to the Washington Redskins.
Trump wants the Commanders to revert the name, after the team dumped it in 2020 due to criticism of the name as offensive to Native Americans. The Commanders went nameless for two years as the ‘Washington Football Team’ before earning their current name in 2022.
