The name of the Washington Commanders team was back in the news recently after President Donald Trump published on social networks that he wanted the name of the franchise team to be given to his old name, The Redskins.
Trump then went further, threatening to stop the team’s plans to build a new stadium in the national capital if they did not bring the old name.
“My declaration on Washington Redskins has completely exploded, but only in a very positive way,” wrote Trump in a social article of truth. “I can put a restriction on which if they do not change the name in the original” Washington Redskins “, and get rid of the ridiculous nickname,” Washington commanders “, I will not agree to build a stadium in Washington. The team would be much more precious, and the agreement would be more exciting for everyone.”

Trump also called commanders “Washington” anything. “”
The mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, did not seem concerned about Trump’s last article, saying that she was “concentrated” on the stadium agreement on his final bump, and that a blockage is probably not “a possibility that we must plan”.
“This is what I believe – I had the opportunity to speak a few times with the president of this site and our team,” Bowser told Espn. “And I can say it unequivocally: he is a fan of Jayden Daniels, and he said himself, and the presser in which we were, that it is probably the best site of all the site he saw for a stadium. I must think that this is what I heard him say, and that is what we will remain.
“Let me be clear: we are on the line of 1 yards, and it’s time to cross the line,” she added. “I cannot even imagine having to start again on this. There is no one waiting in the wings with 2.7 billion dollars. And therefore this stage is a catalyst, and that will attract other investments. Any obstacle to what it is done should be discouraged.

The director general of commanders Adam Peters, too, is imperturbable – even about the stadium agreement – and keeps his eyeballs on the product on the ground, wherever they play.
“Whether it is the stadium or anything else (not linked to football), these things do not really happen to us,” said Peters. “We are just trying to focus on what’s going on here and prepare for the season.”
Trump added that Cleveland Guardians of the MLB should follow suit.
“Cleveland is expected to do the same with the Cleveland Indians. The owner of the Cleveland baseball team Matt Dolan, who is very political, lost three consecutive elections because of this changing name,” said Trump. “What he does not understand is that if he has changed the name of the Cleveland Indians, he could actually gain an election. The Indians are treated very unfairly. Make the Indians again (Miga)!”

The first offices of the two teams said it was not planned to return to their old names, or even change them again in any way.
