President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team, now known as the Commanders, changes its name back to Redskins.

"OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" wrote President Trump, in calling on the Washington Commanders to revert to the name Redskins, which many view as a slur against Native Americans.
