Trump Demands Return of "Redskins" Name, Ties Team's Future in D.C. to Compliance
Washington D.C.—U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited a firestorm by publicly demanding that the NFL’s Washington Commanders revert to their former name, “Redskins,” which was abandoned in 2020 due to its racist connotations toward Native Americans.
Posting on his social network, Truth Social, Trump slammed the current name as “ridiculous” and claimed there is overwhelming support for bringing back the original title. “The Washington ‘whatever-they’re-called’ should IMMEDIATELY return to Washington Redskins,” he declared, with characteristic emphasis and appeals to the nation’s “common sense.”
In a separate message, Trump took his stance further, threatening to obstruct the team’s efforts to relocate back to the capital unless the name change is reversed. “If they don’t go back to the original name ‘Washington Redskins’ and ditch the absurd ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make any deals to build them a stadium in Washington,” he warned—explicitly linking the team’s identity to its future economic and territorial prospects.
Currently based in Landover, Maryland, the franchise has been in ongoing talks about a possible move back to Washington D.C., with proposals to build a new stadium at the site of the old RFK Stadium. Negotiations, however, remain inconclusive.
The "Redskins" name was retired amid widespread calls for racial justice and cultural sensitivity, particularly in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. The shift was part of a broader reckoning across American sports, which also led to the Cleveland Indians rebranding as the Guardians.
Now seeking reelection in November, Trump has framed this issue within his broader crusade against what he calls “cancel culture.” His remarks have reignited a long-standing national debate—dividing fans, activists, and lawmakers over whether tradition should yield to progress.
The controversy persists: preserving legacy or pushing for inclusive change?
