This is why residents of DC want statehood. They don't have any autonomy despite paying federal taxes, and they have a tangerine oaf from Florida issuing demands about what DC is allowed to do.WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after Donald Trump threatened to hold up a deal for a new football stadium in the nation’s capital if the Washington Commanders did not go back to the name Redskins, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president’s comments were not a joke.
“The president was serious,” Leavitt told reporters Monday while answering questions on the White House driveway. “Sports is one of the many passions of this president and he wants to see the name of that team changed.”

We see from the childish and unhinged MAGAT responses to my post, above, that once again my aim and words have hit the target.
Poor Fowl...
The issue isn't the name. The issue is the President abusing his office.

One of these days you're going to understand and appreciate what he posts... There's more than one group that won the redskins name back... and a bunch of other ridiculous name changes too...
The issue IS the name. Crying and offended libturds like you is why the names were changed to begin with.

More likely is that Trump is seriously trying to put distance between himself and the Epstein fiasco after 10 years of ramping up his base about it.WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after Donald Trump threatened to hold up a deal for a new football stadium in the nation’s capital if the Washington Commanders did not go back to the name Redskins, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president’s comments were not a joke.

Redskins is a slur like yellowskins and slant eyes. The terms denigrate a people.
Funny that you would make that claim. How many Native Americans have you talked to about the term "redskins?"
Native Americans rail against Trump's call to change Commanders' name back.
Native American groups had fought for years to get Washington's NFL team to change its name. Trump just renewed the battle.

Shouldn't you be out destroying statues?
How about vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial?
This is why you are losing.

Not according to the over 70% of indigenous Indians that prefer to have the Indians and Redskins names reinstituted back to their sports teams.
Wow, this is a new low for white whining.
You know a lot of Vikings these days? Because Native Americans STILL EXIST.
And that is EXACTLY why Trump wants the name back. He gravitates towards all things racist just naturally.

Or someone will claim they're offended and change the name...Soon the Bears will become offended because Chicago is using their name.
Pesky details...
Probably not true, but even so: why does it matter? Why offend ANYONE with the team name?

Should the Commander's not be free from Government bullying to make their own decision?
