Trump Demands Sports Teams Make Their Names Racist Again

President Donald Trump wrote that the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians should restore their racist team names "IMMEDIATELY."

Trump doubling down on the sports culture war bullshit, threatening to nix the Washington football stadium unless they change the name back to the racist bullshit of the past.

Totally not a fascist though trying to control everything even in sports leagues, one that turned him down from owning a team.

Very important issue /s

 

[Lycanthrope]

What is Taco going to do - issue an EO stating everyone must call them the Redskins?

Remember when Republicans believed in business acting in their own interests?
If you don't think this guy wants to be king, please let me know what Constitutional power he thinks he is exercising here...

Years ago when I was employed at the Bureau of Indian Affairs I worked with a lot of American Indians and most of them were Redskins fans.

"Redskins" was always one of those white liberal busy body issues, not one that actual American Indians actually cared about.

The movement to change the name only really succeeded when corporate woke was at its highest and was thinking the future belonged to white liberal busy bodies.

So does "businesses acting in their own best interest" mean not having an opinion?

Why is potus wasting time on this
Where is doge eliminating this waste fraud and abuse

Extortion again.......be proud Trumpers, be proud. This is how Presidents should act?

Trump isn't "having an opinion" here, he's trying to use the office of the president as leverage to force a private company to do what he wants.

So that's the distraction he wants from the Epstein files.

 

[Cameron]

It sure would be nice if SCOTUS would make clear to this asshat that he can't use government approvals or other administrative pressure to punish speech he disagrees with.

Personal anecdotes are not a compelling rebuttal.

Washington Redskins' name, Native mascots offend more than previously reported - Berkeley News

A majority of Native Americans polled by a UC Berkeley researcher object to caricatures of their culture

I mean there is having an opinion and the president demanding it because he thinks he is king.

Right, like the public is going to be distracted by sports from the fact that the administration is publicly protecting rich pedophiles.

Some want the name back.

Washington Commanders 'fitting name for oppressors' Native American group claims in new federal lawsuit

The Native American Guardians Association filed a lawsuit against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 25, 2023 accusing it of contributing to cultural oppression.

www.foxnews.com

They don't seem bothered by it. Just bothered mostly people that aren't even NA for whatever stupid reason.

Commanders is just stupid anyway. Should have just stuck with The Washington Football Team.

 

[Bok Tuklo]

All the usual tactics to get Epstein off the first page isn’t working. Time to break out the racism to trigger the libs and please the base.

 

[jmotivator]

sure

Sorry if it doesn't fit your narrative, but it's a fact.

A poll in 2016 found that 90% of Native Americans weren't offended by the name. The narrative was dead.

It wasn't until DEI and Woke started running banking and effecting loans that the Redskins changed their name. It was woke white liberal bankers that gave a shit and nobody else.

Outdated poll.

He's suggesting that they should change their name, not demanding it. The clue is in the use of "should".

“The complaint also names the powerful National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) for its role in erasing from public discussion the image and history of real Native Americans. The suit claims that the NCAI contributes to a legacy of cultural oppression suffered by indigenous peoples.”


You need to calibrate your bullshit detector. Your “some” looks like the Native American equivalent of Candace Owens.

Ah going literal ..

Try again

Because threatening to block a deal isnt a suggestion

no one cares about your OT "stories". Why not comment on the topic of what Trump wants to do?
