Trump threatens to restrict stadium deal with Washington Commanders if they don’t change name back to ‘Redskins’

[Slade3200]

Why would you want people like shown below dictating what a private business names itself?
That’s absurd.
View attachment 1139458

Private citizens can say whatever they want, it’s a free country. When the government gets authoritarian like Trump is proposing it is cause for concern

 

[Slade3200]

I think the point is pushback to the woke bullies who are trying to dictate language.

Can’t yall push back in a less communistic way?

 

[Slade3200]

Why in the world would you want a handful of woke morons dictate a change in the name of a historic team that virtually ZERO fans wanted changed?? That is more absurd

Citizens can say whatever they want and business owners can do what they want. It’s a free country. Y’all cheering the government to intervene is what takes us from a democracy to a dictatorship.

Can’t you post in a less fascist™ way?

I can sure try.:. Can you explain to me how my posts are coming off as fascist to you?

 

[konradv]

Well, at least it's a real issue folks in my AO care about.

Sure can't say the same about the Epstein BS that the dumb-shits have the vapors over.

Pedophilia is BS?! Are you absolving Epstein?

What posts are coming off as “ communistic”? Did you steal that from watching reruns of the Joy Reid Clown Show?

You didn’t address my question. I’ll address yours though. The OP and subsequent posts supporting the OP are communistic. The president trying to use the power of the government to tell a business to change their name. That’s what communism and dictators do:

Your tirade was a lot of “…. because I say so”, nonsense.

I think wokeness was the reason for the name change, you’re ok with woke bullies telling a business to change its name. That’s what woke communists and dictators do,

 

[Aldo Raine]

Washington Redskins? I'm all for it.
The reason being that it was changed for the wrong reason.
Political correctness is, and has always been a joke.

It was changed because it is a HUGE money grab. Fans will buy new gear, and you can still buy the old gear. It isn't about PC, it's about money!

"Oh, I'm like 1% African. I know because I got a DNA test on 23andme."

Look, I don't care what you are: if you're arguing that Redskin isn't offensive, you're carrying white supremacists' water. If you're not white and agreeing to carry that bucket, that just makes you pathetic.

No, I am the kind that you could label "things that are ******* obvious". I don't need the media to tell me natives are offended because I know that narrative was a big ass lie.

A New Study Contradicts a Washington Post Poll About How Native Americans View the Redskins’ Name - Washingtonian

In 2016, the Washington Post published a poll about whether Native Americans found the Washington Redskins’ name offensive. Ninety percent of respondents said they were not offended by the team’s name. The poll has since been used by Dan Snyder and other team owners as evidence that their Native American mascots are inoffensive.

 

[Hollie]

Not torqued at all. It’s just a simple case of a commie idea of government overreach and it’s amusing to see all the so called conservatives bend over backwards to defend it.

It’s more a matter of smacking down the wokesters and leftist PC groupies.

It seems you have Lizzie Warren syndrome. That claimed 1% African provides an entitlement to lecture others on your African heritage.

He was addressing me. He called me a white supremacist even though I am not white just because I told him hardly anyone is offended by the name Redskins.

All the American Indians I've EVER met hate the PC "Native American" crap, and call themselves Indians.


.

They changed the name of a road near me that had the word "squaw" in the name. It was entirely based on the initiative of a group of rich white liberals. "Squaw" means "woman" or "wife" in a few Algonquin languages. This is an example of a real Native American Indian word being canceled by white people.

Looks like you posted the article without reading it lol.

But a new study from academics at the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley contradicts that data. In a scientific survey of more than 1,000 Native Americans, roughly half of the participants said they were offended by the Redskins’ name. Moreover, 65 percent said they were offended by sports fans performing a “tomahawk chop,” and 73 percent said they were offended by fans imitating Native American dances.

This is straight from his book, "The Art of the Distraction".

Yeah, cause no politician ever does that!

Haha - I am not cheering for anything. I don't have TDS so I can differentiate between Trump talking smack, and Trump the policy maker.
I am not the one sitting in anticipation - waiting for him to say something nuts and then scream for days.

So, no response to the subject of my post.

As usual.

It had no subject. That was my point.

President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated his call for the Washington Commanders to change their name back to the “Redskins,” threatening to restrict the NFL team’s stadium deal if they don’t, though it’s unclear how he would be able to.

“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,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington. The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Yeah, maybe a bit of overreach on Trump's part but I sure like the idea.

Godspeed, it would be be a major coup for Skins fans.



I'd be OK with the feathered spear logo too.

He can't do that. The organization has free speech rights. Though I wouldn't mind if they did change back.
