President Trump said if the Commanders "don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins' … I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington."

"I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,'" the president said.

Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters made clearthat he doesn’t expect any of that sort of outside conversation to interfere with their real jobs.
