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

No taxpayer help but he seems to enjoy veering issues to his liking while pushing the left's buttons. It works.

How I hate that name.

The Washington Command and Controllers would have been a more accurate name.

Bring back “Redskins”. The Indians don’t mind. Only the delusional and Lying leftist Do-Gooders mind.

congrats on being the first poster to mention the R word. I thought the thread was somehow censored.

Anyone remember Reagan saying Viet Nam was a noble cause? It ruffled feathers, especially amongst his handlers. The subject was a non-issue at the time and he brought it up out of the blue.

Then there’s the ‘tear down this wall’ statement. Handlers again couldn’t handle.
Like Reagan Trump is a disturber of the excrement-only bigger because his support is more solid.

That was a basketball team ... originally the Baltimore Bullets ...

In any case, they should get "in" with the Comanche Tribe ... like Florida State University is "in" with the Seminole Tribe. Call the team the Washington Comanches ...Not pejorative, not stupid, and possibly of mutual benefit.

Name them after something the city is famous for..
The Washington Weasels
The Beltway Bandits
The Potomac Parasites

Lots of possibilities

For me, when all the nonsense was going down, and they renamed the Cleveland Indians and removed "Chief Wahoo", I quit watching.

The "Guardians" doesn't draw me to their wokeness-induced creation, and I'm done with nearly ALL Major League sports, due to the political activity connections/oversight/etc.

I would’ve changed the name to the Washington Warriors, kept the colors and logo and told them all to phuck off.

DAN SNYDER REALLY HAD NO CHOICE. The NFL was going to take his franchise away and he’d been left with nothing............

They were the Baltimore Bullets and then became the Washington Bullets before changing their name to honor the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan.... The Washington Wizards

I’m not a Redskins fan, but I could get behind that name. THAT would be nice.

I do NOT want federal money paying for a regional team’s stadium. Particularly as they are a rival to my own preferred team.

I’m a feather Indian. I liked the redskins name. Other natives I know- no one ever complained it was racist. They had the jerseys, bumper st, caps and logos.

Nowadays no one here has Commanders logos or jerseys, etc.

Bring back the Washington Redskins name.

“The Indians don’t mind”

The woke tried that a couple of times with the Florida State Seminoles, not doing their homework of course they weren’t aware of the very close relationship the university has with the Seminole nation.

When they sent a threatening letter to FSU about the mascot the Seminole tribe made it abundantly clear to the woke idiots that they had an army of attorneys backed by their casino money and would sue the piss outta them if they didn’t stand down.....that was the last time that ever happened.
