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.
Party of small government, huh?
Party of literal traitors.
Only for the parts that don’t help rich people.
Sounds like good reason to wait for the despot to die or whatever.
FWIW, billionaires run the NFL, they should pay for their own fucking stadia.
NFL is a legally legislated monopoly.
Oddly enough, there was another football league (USFL) which won an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.
I’ll bet you’ll never guess what dipshit owned the New Jersey Generals until USFL went under. /s
There’s a great story about how that dipshit sunk the entire enterprise by being a complete incompetent dipshit.
Of fucking course he did. It had to be him.
I like that even back then the jury found him unlikeable, though that seems to be the trend his whole life.
Well the behavior fits
I thought the MLB was the only
legally legislatedcourt mandated monopoly in the states.This case is the main reason why MLB has not faced any competitor leagues since 1922, and MLB, to date, remains the only American sports league with such an antitrust exemption
Probably more bullshit that Ken Burns taught me.

Spoiler: “You bet it is.”
They are also non profit. Hahahahahahaha
Predictably crazy banana republic news.
Corn republic
A “KKKorn Republic”.
He is desperate for any news story that will stop the Epstein news.
Gosh, why are people falling for this copium? Conservative outrage about Epstein will end up being a nothingburger, not changing the minds of anyone on the right. They never actually cared about “grooming,” and never will. The evidence of this is old and stale, so don’t think for a second that the rate of people waking up to conservative lies will change from this. The economy is what will change minds, not the indisputable fact that pedophilia is acceptable on the right.
Conservatives voted for a “man” that was already a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and had committed treason by instigating an insurrection and attempting to overturn an election going into the 2024 election.
You are right. Conservatives absolutely are not going to draw the line at pedophilia.
It also still needs to be hammered away into the minds of everyone regardless, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on.
This seems really important and not like a petty attempt at distraction at all.
Epstein list
Anything to get the news cycle off of Epstein.
He releases the Epstein Files, unredacted, and maybe they Washington Commanders will change their name back.
In fact, until he does, I vote they change their name to the Washington Epsteins!
Even better, call them the Trump Epsteins.
I mean yes, the commanders is a shitty name but going back to the racial slurs isn’t the solution. I personally was a fan of the Washington football team era.
I think the Washington Nazis is currently the most fitting.
W F T
Finally a president that is tackling the real issues head on. I really hope he forces Aunt Jamima’s face back onto syrup bottles soon. I miss seeing that sweet woman at the breakfast table so goddamm much. I’m clamoring Mr president, clamoring I say.
Even better name would be the Washington Epstein List.
He is such an idiot. As President of the US, don’t we think he has more important issues to be concerned with? Like, does he have any focus/power of concentration or filter? WTAF. Why do we have this senile dumbass in charge???
He very much does not want us to worry about the more important issues. This is his playbook, ignore the noise.
This is a distraction from the epstein files… its not working
This guy puts his fucking nose in everything.
Especially if it’s under 18.
He already killed one football league by trying to force his will on it.
It’s funny because America was likely to have year round professional football until Trump killed that league. It was already in the works to have that other league pick up where the NFL season left off.
Trump literally killed year round football.
Because everything he touches turns to shit. Including our country.
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.
