President Donald Trump’s demand the Washington Commanders NFL team revert to its recently retired “Redskins” name is being laughed off on Capitol Hill — by veteran Democrats from the region, at least.

Today, Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh talked about meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House. "It was awesome. I want our president to be successful just like I want our quarterback to be successful." He says he's met 4 presidents, but his brother Jim has met 7. pic.twitter.com/ELvoBEwoxa

Social media detectives uncovered a 12-year-old tweet from President Donald Trump about the “Washington Redskins” team name, and let’s just say it aged like milk. On Sunday, news broke that President Donald Trump had threatened to hold up the Washington Commanders’ push for a new stadium if they didn’t go back to the “Redskins” team

Over a decade ago, Terry Francona signed on to become the Cleveland Indians’ manager. He departed the team in 2023, having experienced a pennant, nine winning seasons and one controversial name change.

Washingtonians reacting to Donald Trump's call for the Commanders to change their name back to Redskins are not putting much stock into the president's opinion on the matter.

Donald Trump is facing criticism for demanding the Washington Commanders revert to their former name, Redskins, a term widely considered a racial slur. This stance is hypocritical, given his 2013 tweet criticizing Barack Obama for similar commentary.
