Donald Trump Threatens to Block Washington Commanders’ New Stadium and Force Name Change

In 1933, the Boston Braves football team became known as the Washington Redskins. Then, 87 years later, the Redskins became known as the Washington Football Team to avoid any further controversy about potential racial slurs. Today, president Donald Trump would like to see the now Washington Commanders go back to their previous name, before the logos changed in 2022.

Once again, questions surrounding the Washington football team’s name comes at a very interesting time, when the franchise is trying to secure a new stadium location after being at Northwest Stadium since 1997. However, the current stadium is located in Landover, Maryland, and many would like to see the Commanders play closer to their home state, preferably in the nation’s capital of Washington D.C.

However, recently president Trump issued a threat, that if the current Commanders ownership group, led by Josh Harris, isn’t willing to reconsider switching the team name back to the Redskins, then Trump says he “may put a restriction” on the team. This restriction would even include not making a “deal for them to build a stadium in Washington (D.C.).




Trump believes the Commanders’ franchise would be “much more valuable” and the “deal would be more exciting for everyone.”

I think we should rename the Trump Tower "Donny Dementia's tiny mushroom compensator."
