    Question Bring Redskins team name back to Washington?

    I hope they bring back the old name, should have never changed.



    NFL fans call for Trump to bring Redskins team name back to Washington after election victory
    NFL fans call on Donald Trump to bring back Washington Redskins tradition and namel

    he Washington Redskins changed their name in 2020, ending a nearly century-long run with a brand that, for many, represented Native American stereotypes. The move followed a surge in pressure from activists and sponsors who considered the name offensive and outdated. Amid the heightened social justice awareness surrounding George Floyd's death, former team owner Dan Snyder, who had long resisted a change, was ultimately compelled to rebrand after major sponsors, including FedEx, threatened to pull support.

    In response, the franchise first adopted the temporary name Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Washington Commanders in 2022. For some fans, however, the change marked the loss of a cherished identity.

    Trump threatens stadium deal over Commanders' name

    CLEVELAND -- President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which is considered offensive to Native Americans.

    Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a "big clamoring for this" as well.

    The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since their respective seasons in 2022, and both have said that they don't plan to change them back.

    Trump said that the Commanders would be "much more valuable" if they restored their old name.
