From 1937 to 2019, the NFL franchise in Washington was known as the "Redskins," and if the Commanders don't switch back to that name, Trump said he "won't make a deal" for them to build a new stadium.

Washington’s NFL franchise used to be in the news all the time for reasons other than football. That seemed to have changed under new team ownership, but President Donald Trump’s remarks about the team name and possibly holding up a stadium deal are making waves just as training camp opens.

President Trump’s call for the Commanders to readopt their Redskins nickname is dialing up a familiar play: turning the NFL into a political football by using sports, and Washington’s NFL team, as a cultural wedge issue.

The Commanders have signed a wide receiver to a new contract, but it is not veteran Terry McLaurin. When will he get a new contract?

President Donald Trump may be all on board for having the Washington Commanders revert their team name, but the D.C. mayor and the team's GM are paying him no mind.
