President Trump: “I wouldn’t have changed the name” to Commanders
Profootballtalk ^

Posted on 07/07/2025 8:50:27 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

“You want me to make a controversial statement?” Trump said “I would. I wouldn’t have changed the name. It just doesn’t have the same, it doesn’t have the same ring to me.”

The prospect of a (name)change comes at a time when the Commanders could be going to Trump to get a deal done that would get a new facility to be built. Which means that, if they seek his help, they may have to do something in return.

That something could include naming the stadium after the 45th/47th president. It could mean re-naming the team. It could be both

Yes, he was, but he called the NFL a ‘Mafia’, and he was correct..............

I think the NFL was bluffing. All Synder had to do was to say "**** it".

Things would have settled down after Trump got elected in 2024.

Synder eventually sold the team anyway because no one was going to build the stadium for him using public finds.

I’d bet the woke bureaucrats who fill the stadium and the lobbyists populating the luxury suites like the new name just fine.

My adult daughter told me that “Commanders” sounds the name of an imaginary college team in a movie. She’s a Chiefs fan.

All of this sports team renaming came after 0bama was elected. I believe that the league’s all wanted to get into the politically correct act to get his favor.

Make bringing back the name “Redskins” part of any deal and Metro D.C. will suddenly love him.

To me, they are the Redskins, have always been the Redskins and will always be the Redskins.

BTW, the new mascot is a joke. Looks like he came right out of an old porky pig cartoon.

I went to a Cowboys-Redskins game years ago, and I saw Crazy Ray and Chief Zee over in the next section.

Considering the Corruption names like “Crooks” “Outlaws” “Hustlers” “Hookers” for a Washington sports team sound pretty good.

The “Washington Swamp” Trump could recommend that name.

They seemed to enjoy their pantomimed routines...Chief Zee might have Crazy Ray down on the ground holding his tomahawk against his forehead, and a few minutes later, Crazy Ray might be pointing his revolver at a prostrate Chief Zee!

It sounded like they both enjoyed their roles, and by all accounts...each other. May they RIP.

While they are at it, the NY Yankees name triggers me. They should change their name immediately.

Cowboys- Commanders is not the same. The old one sounded like an Old West Battle.

White leftists with their token complainers have led multiple organizations to erase Indians from their names and logos. My personal favorite (to boycott) is Land O’ Lakes products where they erased an Indian maiden who used to sit in front of a lake in the logo. A native aquaintence noted that they got rid of the Indian and kept the lakes.

Just curious, what was your take on Chief Wahoo? I thought the name “Indians” was meant to honor but the logo itself was a caricature that might offend.
