President Donald Trump has threatened to cancel plans for a new Washington Commanders stadium if the team does not return to its original name, the Redskins, despite efforts to change it. The warning comes as the team prepares to build a new home in D.C. with the current name, which was dropped last year due to controversy surrounding Native American imagery and mascots. Trump's statement suggests he wants the team to abandon the 'Commanders' moniker and revert back to its historic identity, sparking debate among fans and stakeholders. The future of the stadium project now hangs in the balance as a result of Trump's public comments.
