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."

ASHBURN, Va – The District of Columbia Council is set to vote Aug. 1 on revised legislation that could allow the Washington Commanders to return to the site of their former home at RFK Stadium, Chairman Phil Mendelson announced Thursday, describing the updated proposal as a win for the city and its residents.

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.

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.”
