Trump threatens to block Washington Commanders stadium deal unless team changes back to former name
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.

Feel no shame for this my brother in God, no one thought you’d amount to much but look at you now! Exceeding expectations…you’ve done well!
Its the naked girl sharpie drawing with the name in collegiate font and the “pubic Donald scrawl” on it. $75.99. Made in China.
Has the image of it been released?
Yes. See politicalmemes from a couple days ago
The Washington TrumpIsOnTheEpsteinList
Just the "Washington WeWantTehEpsteinFiles"
Hey, my dad played on the West Virginia University Epsteins!
What the fuck?
I figure he'll do anything to distract from the actual issues.
He does need a pretty big distraction right now.
I think it's also that he's a racist who holds petty grudges.
He’s a demented rapist.
It’s odd how few people seem to know that.
What did he and Epstein do at that party of just them and a bunch of children without guardians?
I don't think anyone wants to have to read the answer to that question.
Didn't you see the President's post? Those kids were at the party without indians....
You're confusing the former Washington Redskins and former Cleveland Indians
He complained about them both, because of course he did....
Pin the tail on the Donnie
Sounds like good reason to wait for the despot to die or whatever.
FWIW, billionaires run the NFL, they should pay for their own fucking stadia.
NFL is a legally legislated monopoly.
Oddly enough, there was another football league (USFL) which won an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.
I'll bet you'll never guess what dipshit owned the New Jersey Generals until USFL went under. /s
There’s a great story about how that dipshit sunk the entire enterprise by being a complete incompetent dipshit.
How the old USFL emerged, and how Trump helped kill it
Of fucking course he did. It had to be him.
I like that even back then the jury found him unlikeable, though that seems to be the trend his whole life.
Well the behavior fits
I thought the MLB was the only
legally legislatedcourt mandated monopoly in the states.Probably more bullshit that Ken Burns taught me.

Spoiler: “You bet it is.”
They are also non profit. Hahahahahahaha
Predictably crazy banana republic news.
Corn republic
A "KKKorn Republic".
King's Decree.
He should be sued for this 😮💨
yes, “sued”
funny way of spelling "castrated"
Whats that thing where there’s an object in motion and a fat object in diapers?
Inurshitia?
He is desperate for any news story that will stop the Epstein news.
Gosh, why are people falling for this copium? Conservative outrage about Epstein will end up being a nothingburger, not changing the minds of anyone on the right. They never actually cared about "grooming," and never will. The evidence of this is old and stale, so don't think for a second that the rate of people waking up to conservative lies will change from this. The economy is what will change minds, not the indisputable fact that pedophilia is acceptable on the right.
Conservatives voted for a "man" that was already a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and had committed treason by instigating an insurrection and attempting to overturn an election going into the 2024 election.
You are right. Conservatives absolutely are not going to draw the line at pedophilia.
It also still needs to be hammered away into the minds of everyone regardless, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on.
Party of small government, huh?
Party of literal traitors.
Only for the parts that don’t help rich people.
Anything to get the news cycle off of Epstein.
This fucker wants to micromanage everything. Mind your own business you dumb oaf.
Fixed that for you
Child rapist
Its because he desperately needs to distract from himself being at the top of the Epstein list.
He's just trying to manufacturer distractions from Epstein conversations. Stay focused!
I mean yes, the commanders is a shitty name but going back to the racial slurs isn't the solution. I personally was a fan of the Washington football team era.
I think the Washington Nazis is currently the most fitting.
W F T
This seems really important and not like a petty attempt at distraction at all.
Epstein list
How is this not the Onion
We are either victims of massive election fraud or legitimately the dumbest motherfuckers ever to walk the earth.
Wasn't there a handful of counties in NY that were largely blue, yet somehow Trump got every single vote?
Edit: Rockland County in NY. Kamala received 0 votes, despite most voting blue down-ballot.
unfortunately, it's a disturbingly common belief that if you split your ticket like that it means you're being "reasonable"/"moderate"/"centrist".
wait until you hear about the number of people who don't turn over their ballot in elections where the choices don't fit on one side...
Trump is just one giant onion. And I don't mean he is complex and multi-layered I mean he stinks.
This is just an insult to onions. At least they have a purpose!
Finally a president that is tackling the real issues head on. I really hope he forces Aunt Jamima's face back onto syrup bottles soon. I miss seeing that sweet woman at the breakfast table so goddamm much. I'm clamoring Mr president, clamoring I say.
This guy literally cannot go a single day without being even more of a piece of shit than the previous day!
He releases the Epstein Files, unredacted, and maybe they Washington Commanders will change their name back.
In fact, until he does, I vote they change their name to the Washington Epsteins!
Even better, call them the Trump Epsteins.
This guy puts his fucking nose in everything.
Especially if it's under 18.
TIL that the Washington football team is from Washington D.C., not Washington State.
I also recently learned that the Pentagon also isn't located in Washington state. This shit needs a disambiguation page for real life.
Football teams are generally named after the city they’re in, not the state. The state of Washington is home to the Seattle Seahawks.
With the exception of the New England Patriots, who are named after a whole region because they wanted somewhere cheap to build a stadium and no one outside of the region knows where Foxborough is.
And Arizona Cardinals, named after the state, of course.
I want to toss in for consideration the creative committee that came up with the “Houston Texans”
FC Bayern München means "Football Club Bavaria Munic" (Munic is the capital of Bavaria, the federal state) we take things quite literal
Not to be confused with former XFL (Xtreme Football League) team the Texas Houstons
Yeah, there are exceptions to the rule.
To cloud the issue further, The Pentagon is in Virginia and The Washington Football team plays in Maryland and practices in Virginia.
Also the last time the New York Giants played in New York City was 50 years ago.
Trump accidentally lands on my side. Fuck your publicly funded stadium.
Oh yeah, good point.
Trump still pissed about his NFL snub. What a fuckin child.
Definitely sweats the big stuff. I assume that the libertarians are fine with being told what to do by this joker. He must be trying to move on from his bromance with Epstein and needs a new controversy.
...i thnk we need to start calling the donvict a child rapist...RAPIST DON...CHILD RAPIST DON..RAPE DON...nothing seems to roll off the tongue...
President Pedo
...pedo-sent?...
I mean, I’ve been doing it for years, but I forgot to trademark it.
...you want the president to be a pedophile?...
Nnnno? I’ve been calling him a rapist in everyday casual conversation whenever he comes up.
..why downvote the witch...
i want to know who thinks this is a downvote situation...
This is a distraction from the epstein files.... its not working
He is such an idiot. As President of the US, don't we think he has more important issues to be concerned with? Like, does he have any focus/power of concentration or filter? WTAF. Why do we have this senile dumbass in charge????
He very much does not want us to worry about the more important issues. This is his playbook, ignore the noise.
I'm really cool and should be really popular everyone in middle school thinks so there's a big clamoring for this - 12 year old Becky
Even better name would be the Washington Epstein List.
He already killed one football league by trying to force his will on it.
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.
It's almost impressive that someone can be so incompetent as to fail selling football to Americans, and can bankrupt casinos.
Those are both licenses to print money and the guy fucks up even that.
Jesus, put him in a fucking home already.
Behold, the pro-business small government party at work.
Fucking embarrassing.
The secret ingredient is racism
Not a secret.
What happened to Epstein? You look sweaty Donny
Misdirection
If this isn’t the most petulant, childish old man I’ve ever seen.
You forgot demented and rapey.
Washington Original Americans, just to spite him.
Professional sports is just a way for wealthy whites to own slaves, and trade them between each other like trading cards. I don't care about the squabbles among Sociopathic Oligarchs about their precious sports teams, until it comes to using tax money to build their temples. Then I object strenuously.
If they want a new stadium, they can buy the land and build it, using their own money. Not one penny of taxpayer money should ever be spent on professional sports. Let the owners pay for everything, they can well afford it. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing the dick-measuring contests of billionaires.
Sportsball millionaires are slaves is a take I never expected.
And yet, those team owners can literally SELL them to each other. Imagine how smug those owners are, knowing they literally own their millionaire athletes. Those athletes are nothing more than birds in gilded cages. The beauty of their cage doesn't replace their freedom.
I agree about tax funded stadiums, but slavery…? Come on. I’m sure slaves would definitely see playing a sport for notoriety and millions of dollars as basically the same as indentured servitude.
Imagine you are an athlete possessing the skills to do something at an incredibly high level, and you can be compensated obscenely for it. However, in order to capitalize on this incredible talent, you have to sign a contract, and surrender your entire career and life to a racist white Sociopathic Oligarchs who is absolutely obsessed with money. But the money is unbelievable, so you do it.
Now you have a family, they love their home, their schools, their friends, their city. Then one day, you are told that you have been SOLD to a different racist white Sociopathic Oligarch in another part of the country, and you have to go, or you will be in breach of your contract, and you will lose everything.
Have fun telling your family that some stranger to them has decided to uproot their entire lives, and send them to a city they have no interest in, and may even hate, AND THEY HAVE NO CHOICE.
You are OWNED by a wealthy white man, and he can sell you to another wealthy white man without bothering to consult you at all. If that's not slavery, then what is it?
Pretty simple. When you don’t have a choice in the terms of your agreement. Then, in addition, it is legal to beat the shit out of you for any reason, and in some cases kill a person under such conditions. All protected by law, in many cases with no contract termination. And throughout the remainder of your life, you’ll work tirelessly and thanklessly; all while owning no property or possessing any rights your own.
If you think your analogy holds up, fine. I just think it is hyperbole of the highest order.
There are lots of different types of slavery, some like you described, but even during the American slave era, there were differences between slaves. Not all were consigned to work in the fields to their deaths. Many were house slaves, and lived moderately easier lives. Some slaves were allowed to work personal jobs off the plantation, and keep the money, some were able to travel within their jobs, and some could even eventually purchase their freedom. Others were forced into the sugar cane fields in Louisiana or the Caribbean, and driven to work until their deaths, usually within a few brutal years. That's a wide spectrum of experience among slaves.
Obviously, the modern day athlete is not a perfect equivalent, but they do lose much of their autonomy when they sign a contract. At that point, their lives, and their families,' are in the hands of a money-obsessed Sociopathic Oligarch, who sees the athletes he OWNS as his personal property.
The system resembles slavery more than it doesn't.
It really doesn’t. They are not owned. They accept contracts of their own volition and are represented by unions. Are slaves represented by unions? This is just silly.
I'm not advocating violence®, but it's people who deserve a bullet clamoring for this.
What about the rich pedo circle tho?
Too bad Washington Thinskins would be a worse name than the commanders
What about Foreskins?
Washington D.C. Orangeskins.
Art of The Deal !
No issue is too small for his tiny hands to latch on.
Change it to the Washington Fake Tan and Hair Plugs, just to piss him off more.
Also, don’t forget about those Epstein files.
This is an easy one, say they will change the name to the Washington Commanders-in-Chief and say it was inspired by Trump's leadership.
Get stadium
Don't actually change name
Get back in your lane, Florida Man.
Hey Donnie! Where's the list Donnie?! Where's the fucking list Donnie? You on that list Donnie? Yeah, you like em young don't ya Donnie? You raped your ex-wife Donnie! You had sex with you're own daughter Donnie! Donnie! Come out and play Donnie!
Remember all the creepy single-frames-of-video that people pulled out to make it look like Biden was like looking down a 12 year old girls blouse or something?
Peppridge Farm remembers.
Every accusation is a confession. I want to see Baron Trump's laptop.
A racist through and through just like his MAGAts.
Sports insiders said we could have avoided the 2016 election if NFL owners just let him buy the Bills.
Red meat for the base in desperation.
