Could The Redskins Return To RFK?

Trump puts the NFL on notice

Well, this is getting interesting.

In The Spectator’s lengthy sit-down interview with President Trump earlier this year, he teased the idea that the return of Washington’s NFL franchise to the Robert F. Kennedy stadium site could be a legacy level achievement in his second term. He also implied a willingness to step in to take over the situation if the DC council failed to approve a stadium deal.

Now that the feckless (and corrupt) DC council has put the initial RFK deal in doubt, Trump has raised the prospect of a return from the Commanders name to the old moniker of the Redskins as a necessary element to prevent scotching the deal – a move that he can do via executive action or via approval from two planning boards, writing on Truth Social: “if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington.”
