Social media detectives uncovered a 12-year-old tweet from President Donald Trump about the “Washington Redskins” team name, and let’s just say it aged like milk. On Sunday, news broke that President Donald Trump had threatened to hold up the Washington Commanders’ push for a new stadium if they didn’t go back to the “Redskins” team

US President Donald Trump has demanded The Washington Commanders revert their name to the Redskins or risk the plug being pulled on their new NFL stadium.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team, now known as the Commanders, changes its name back to Redskins.

Donald Trump is facing criticism for demanding the Washington Commanders revert to their former name, Redskins, a term widely considered a racial slur. This stance is hypocritical, given his 2013 tweet criticizing Barack Obama for similar commentary.

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