President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a stadium deal for Washington's football team if it doesn't restore its old name.

President Trump isn't kidding around with his new threat to the NFL's Washington Commanders, the White House says.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser revealed what U.S. President Donald Trump said about Jayden Daniels, Commanders stadium deal in recent interview.

The Washington franchise has changed away from its nickname twice, first changing from Redskins in 2020 before its most recent change to Commanders in 2022. After retiring the Redskins name and logo, the team adopted the temporary moniker of the Washington Football Team, using the same branding and uniforms from before, sans Redskins insignia.

Residents had some strong opinions about President Donald Trump's most-recent insertion into the Washington Commanders' attempt to return to D.C.
