Washington, D.C., Council Chairman Phil Mendelson suggested he would have no issue with the Washington Commanders using the Redskins nickname again.

President Trump said if the Commanders "don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins' … I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington."

Study shows that 90% of Native Americans aren't offended by the Redskins and fine with the Washington Commanders changing it back.

President Trump on Sunday publicly demanded that the Washington Commanders change the team name back to the Redskins— labeling them derisively the “Washington Whatever’s.”

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.

A former Blackfeet Tribal chair member designed the logo decades ago. And while the team recently adopted a new name and identity, some Montanans have pushed to preserve the original.

Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a “big clamoring for this" as well. The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons and both have said they have no plans to change them back.

The Commanders have not made a public statement since Trump’s comments, but owner Josh Harris reiterated the franchise would not be reverting its name after he took over in 2023.
