Probably old news, but its back on the front page because the orange menace is flapping his gums, once more.

Trump Demands Sports Teams Make Their Names Racist Again​


Wants the Washington Commanders name to go back to the redskins and well as the Cleveland Guardians name for back to the indians.

He's probably trying to get the news cycle off the epstein client list, that people want to see.

"A University of Michigan study that polled more than 1,000 Native Americans in Feb. 2020 found that most generally opposed Native mascots. Among Native Americans “who frequently engage in tribal or cultural practices,” 67 percent of respondents found the Redskins team name offensive. Of all Native Americans polled, half said that they find gestures like the tomahawk chop and mascots wearing chief headdresses to be offensive. The Washington team’s logo under its old name was a cartoon of a Native American wearing feathers on his head."

It figures Trump has no respect for the name of his military Commanders, nor even his own Space Force's Guardians. :rolleyes:

Rename them to the Washington Fuck Trump. The stadium chants would be magnificent!

The trolling I could do if I had some real money... Just a few billion, and I could give lots of people bad days...

The better solution should have been to rebrand the team to a Native American tribe local to the area. Provide more representation of the existing culture instead of just burying it, take something that was once viewed as insensitive and make it inclusive.

I can't really speak for native tribes, but I somehow doubt they would want their name being so lackadaisically thrown around and plastered on NFL merchandise. Getting their name plastered on a football team owned by a multi billionaire who is part of a billionaires' club of NFL owners isn't going to increase Native Americans' representation. It's also like paying them in exposure instead of doing concrete things, like giving money and land, to make amends for past injustices.

One of the greatest moves the NFL ever made was denying him ownership of a franchise. He still has not recovered and holds grudges forever.

As an owner, he would have tried rigging the games and would have bankrupted the team. Hey, at least he's not asking them to be the Washington Orangeskins.

More extortion from Trump using the power of the government to force his views on others. Trumpers/Republicans love big government. Hypocrites.

Bringing this up is another useless distraction of his horrible administration. I wonder what kind of racist distraction he'll throw out tomorrow?
Insist Dairy Queen drop the "Queen." It sounds too gay for Republicans? Resegregating bathrooms again maybe?

How about they do that, and redirect all net profits to the tribe. Or better yet, disperse it evenly to all American tribes.

The only sports franchise that I've really had any kind of interest in what their mascot/name should be was the new Utah NHL team. It absolutely should have been the Salt Lake Soakers.

Some teams were NOT racist in the beggining, what change wants Trump?

Not even Russia went that way and they are even more racist than US until this government.

Focus on Epstein. We all know this shitbag is racist.

How about the Washington Pre-Teens
I wish there was just 1 trump thread instead of 47 million.. because that's part of his game.. deny, delay, distract, demolish, demand, devastate, dumbasses fall for it.

They should just move out of DC. That tskes away Trump's power over their stadium.
Technically he doesn't have power over the stadium in the first place. That power resides with the mayor of DC, because Congress gave that authority to the mayor. Otherwise, Congress has authority over DC
