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

[Papageorgio]

I have no issue with a private business changing it’s brand because of its customers and I really think the team should never have changed it’s name as Indians themselves had no issue with the name, The gover stepping in, is entirely wrong. Congress does not belong interfering with private business.

He's making a point is all.

It is not government’s choice to make. I am against government inserting their interests in to private business.

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.

Maybe they should have gone with the Blackskins.

If that 20% holds water that means that the dems have lost 15% or so of their base and goodness knows how many Independents.

Thread 'More Bad News For Dems — Most Voters Now Call Them 'Too Radical''

Jul 21, 2025

The Democratic Party's attempt to “resist” President Donald Trump is backfiring, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. A plurality of American adults now believe the one-time party of the center has gone too far to the left.

Voters who responded to the online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, were asked the following question: "Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?"

A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren't sure. The poll's margin of error is +/-2.7...

So we had no business getting into Al Capone's business?

The Indians and the Redskins were both extorted into changing their names.

The vast majority should be divided from the fringe kooks.

Government does not belong interfering with private businesses business.

You seem a tad naive, but maybe its just me.....

Commanders for short is Commies, which is perfectly appropriate for DC area residents.

Commanders is not short for anything.

Al Capone was running a criminal organization that include murder, robbery, extortion, tax evasion and other crimes.

The businesses made up their minds to change their names, and they got to decide to succumb to woke stupidity. Having the government interfere with a private business changing its name crosses a line.

Republicans are supposed to be against government inter in private business affairs. Wrong is wrong.

The federal government DID interfere to have the names changed.

But the business didn't change it's name because of it's customers.

It changed it becasue leftards infiltrated it.

Glad to see he's all over the shit that's really important!

I’m a conservative and one of the principles of conservatives is to not support government interference with private, free enterprise private businesses.

Why is this now okay?

Because it would correct a giant wrong...if it were really all that serious. Trump is making a point not changing government.

Did Congress interfere? A question not a criticism.

 

[Papageorgio]

The federal government DID interfere to have the names changed.

No the team allowed public pressure to change their name name.

"Public"? It was a vast minority fringe, not the "public".

It's you being controlled by trump.


How does it feel to constantly be told what to believe by cult leader trump?
