Trump calls on Washington Commanders to "IMMEDIATELY" change back to former name
Yahoo SportsSunday, July 20, 2025 at 8:01:25 PM
Former President Trump is making headlines again, this time for demanding that the Washington Commanders NFL team ditch their current name and go back to being called the "Redskins"—a name widely criticized as offensive to Native Americans. His all-caps social media post, shouting "OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" revives a heated debate over sports branding and racial sensitivity.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a team name—it’s about the ongoing clash between tradition and progress, especially when it comes to racial insensitivity in sports. The Commanders changed their name in 2020 after years of backlash, and Trump’s push to reverse that taps into broader cultural divisions. It matters because it shows how polarizing these symbols remain, even as many leagues try to move toward more inclusive branding.
