Trump on Sunday pushed the Washington Commanders NFL team to return to its previous name, which was scrapped five years ago because it included a word that many view as a slur against Native Americans.
The president also threatened to block a complicated deal for the Commanders to return to a stadium in Washington, D.C., unless they return to the name “Washington Redskins.”
“The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this,” Mr. Trump wrote.
Sounds like good reason to wait for the despot to die or whatever.
FWIW, billionaires run the NFL, they should pay for their own fucking stadia.
NFL is a legally legislated monopoly.
Oddly enough, there was another football league (USFL) which won an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.
I’ll bet you’ll never guess what dipshit owned the New Jersey Generals until USFL went under. /s
There’s a great story about how that dipshit sunk the entire enterprise by being a complete incompetent dipshit.
How the old USFL emerged, and how Trump helped kill it
Of fucking course he did. It had to be him.
I like that even back then the jury found him unlikeable, though that seems to be the trend his whole life.
Well the behavior fits
I thought the MLB was the only
legally legislatedcourt mandated monopoly in the states.Probably more bullshit that Ken Burns taught me.
