Commanders fans have pointed response for Trump on team name change [View all]

WASHINGTON — D.C.-area residents have a message for President Donald Trump who is threatening to derail the Commanders' pending football stadium deal unless the team restores its old name: Stay out of the city's business and do your job.

Trump posted on Truth Social on July 20 that he may block a deal for the team to build a new stadium on the old RFK Stadium site if the team doesn't switch back to its former name, considered offensive to Native Americans.

"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 posted.

Steve Mahoney, 62, said Trump has “bigger fish to fry” than pressuring the Commanders to change the team name. “Focus on lowering prices, everything else that he said he was going to do that he's not doing,” he said.

Why don't we call them the "Orange Thin Skins" in honor of Trump?
