Over the weekend, President Donald Trump reignited the debate over the name of Washington’s NFL team. Now, D.C.-area leaders are weighing in on his comments.
Trump said in a Truth Social post over the weekend that the White House could get in the way of the deal to return the Commanders to a new stadium in D.C., if the team doesn’t go back to its previous name.
“I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,” Trump said Sunday.
On Monday morning, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was asked about the comments and said her focus is on winning council approval for the $3.
