U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited debate over American sports team names, urging the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians to return to their former identities and calling the current names "ridiculous."
U.S. President Donald Trump is pressuring two major U.S. sports teams to revert to their original names, calling the current ones a mistake and threatening political consequences.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said he may block a deal to build a stadium for the Washington Commanders in Washington, D.C. unless the NFL team brings back its old name, the Washington Redskins. He also took aim at the Cleveland Guardians, urging them to restore the name Cleveland Indians.
Trump argued that the name changes were unpopular and politically motivated. He accused Cleveland team owner Matt Dolan of losing three elections due to the rebranding and claimed that returning to the original name could improve his political fortunes.
The Washington team retired the Redskins name in 2020 after years of pressure from Native American groups who considered it offensive. The Cleveland baseball team dropped the Indians name in 2021 for similar reasons.
In a second post, Trump wrote that the name Washington “Whatever’s” should be dropped immediately and said “our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen.” He framed the issue as a matter of heritage and common sense.
