Trump Threatens to Derail New Stadium Over Team Name

July 20, 2025 · 11:05 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“President Trump is threatening to derail a plan to build a new stadium in Washington, D.C., for the Washington Commanders football team unless the team changes its name back to the previous name,” NPR reports.

Said Trump: “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should immediately change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this.”

New York Times: “In his posts, Mr. Trump also urged the Cleveland Guardians baseball team, which changed its name from the Cleveland Indians in 2021, to follow suit.”
