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.

Trump accidentally lands on my side. Fuck your publicly funded stadium.

What about the rich pedo circle tho?

Professional sports is just a way for wealthy whites to own slaves, and trade them between each other like trading cards. I don't care about the squabbles among Sociopathic Oligarchs about their precious sports teams, until it comes to using tax money to build their temples. Then I object strenuously.

If they want a new stadium, they can buy the land and build it, using their own money. Not one penny of taxpayer money should ever be spent on professional sports. Let the owners pay for everything, they can well afford it. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing the dick-measuring contests of billionaires.

I agree about tax funded stadiums, but slavery…? Come on. I’m sure slaves would definitely see playing a sport for notoriety and millions of dollars as basically the same as indentured servitude.

Definitely sweats the big stuff. I assume that the libertarians are fine with being told what to do by this joker. He must be trying to move on from his bromance with Epstein and needs a new controversy.

The secret ingredient is racism

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago

Not a secret.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 6 points 4 days ago

There is a big clamoring for this

I'm not advocating violence®, but it's people who deserve a bullet clamoring for this.

This is an easy one, say they will change the name to the Washington Commanders-in-Chief and say it was inspired by Trump's leadership.

Get stadium

Don't actually change name

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Too bad Washington Thinskins would be a worse name than the commanders
