Trump on Sunday pushed the Washington Commanders NFL team to return to its previous name, which was scrapped five years ago because it included a word that many view as a slur against Native Americans.

The president also threatened to block a complicated deal for the Commanders to return to a stadium in Washington, D.C., unless they return to the name “Washington Redskins.”

“The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this,” Mr. Trump wrote.

    It’s almost impressive that someone can be so incompetent as to fail selling football to Americans, and can bankrupt casinos.

    Those are both licenses to print money and the guy fucks up even that.
