Trump on Sunday pushed the Washington Commanders NFL team to return to its previous name, which was scrapped five years ago because it included a word that many view as a slur against Native Americans.

The president also threatened to block a complicated deal for the Commanders to return to a stadium in Washington, D.C., unless they return to the name "Washington Redskins."

"The Washington "Whatever's" should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," Mr. Trump wrote.

The secret ingredient is racism

He already killed one football league by trying to force his will on it.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It's funny because America was likely to have year round professional football until Trump killed that league. It was already in the works to have that other league pick up where the NFL season left off.

Trump literally killed year round football.

Because everything he touches turns to shit. Including our country.

Change it to the Washington Fake Tan and Hair Plugs, just to piss him off more.

Also, don’t forget about those Epstein files.
