Oh Another Shiny Coin: Trump Demands Redskins And Indians Return To Sporting Teams!

Trump rehashes his calls to boycott the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians. He wants them to change their names back to the Redskins and Indians.

To distract from the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Donald J. Trump has cheered the cancellation of The Late Show. Trump had Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard release a series of pictographs depicting former president Barack Obama as the mastermind of the Trump-Russia collusion.

Trump called for Rosie O'Donnell to lose her American citizenship. O'Donnell left the United States to take residency in the Republic of Ireland.

Trump had demanded the Canadians to push for more detainment of immigrants.

Trump's Department of Homeland Security has slow walked FEMA responses to the massive floods in the United States.

The National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio failed to warn residents in Springfield of a tornado touchdown.

Trump also sued News Corp after the Wall Street Journal released a bombshell story of the president drawing an image of a naked woman for Epstein's 50th birthday.

Trump also is denying he is having serious health concerns after he was spotted at the FIFA World Cup with swollen ankles. There was makeup covering a nasty bruise that was detected on the president's right hand.

The Trump administration has been reeling for the past two weeks after the DOJ concluded that deceased child sex trafficker Epstein did not have a client list and did not blackmail powerful people who may have engaged in criminal activity. Those findings were a far cry from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claim back in February about Epstein’s client list “sitting on my desk.” Her department also declined to release files in the case, which she and FBI Director Kash Patel had claimed contained explosive and damaging information about notable figures.

Now the latest distraction is his demands to block potential funding to the city of Washington, DC for the building of a new football stadium in the Hill East neighborhood on the site of the old Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. Stadium. He demands the Washington Commanders change their team back to the Redskins.

He also called for Ohio Republicans to block any funding to build a new stadium for the Cleveland Guardians.

Trump said Sunday on his Truth Social site that “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”

Josh Harris, whose group bought the Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023, said earlier this year the name was here to stay. Not long after taking over, Harris quieted speculation about going back to Redskins, saying that would not happen.

Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti indicated before Sunday’s game against the Athletics that there weren’t any plans to revisit the name change.

“We understand there are different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but obviously it’s a decision we made. We’ve got the opportunity to build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future that’s in front of us,” he said.

Trump hates woke and DEI.

Both teams have had their current names since the 2022 seasons. Washington dropped Redskins after the 2019 season and was known as the Washington Football Team for two years before moving to Commanders.

Cleveland announced in December 2020 it would drop Indians. It announced the switch to Guardians in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out “Chief Wahoo” as its primary logo.

The name changes had their share of supporters and critics as part of national discussions about institutions and teams to drop logos and names considered racist.

The Guardians are the fifth name for Cleveland’s baseball franchise. It joined the American League in 1901 as one of the eight charter franchises as the Blues. It switched to the Bronchos a year later and used the Naps from 1903 through 1914 before moving to the Indians in 1915.

Washington started in Boston as the Redskins in 1933 before moving to the nation’s capital four years later.

Washington and Cleveland share another thing in common. David Blitzer is a member of Harris’ ownership group with the Commanders and holds a minority stake in the Guardians.
