Trump on Sunday pushed the Washington Commanders NFL team to return to its previous name, which was scrapped five years ago because it included a word that many view as a slur against Native Americans.

The president also threatened to block a complicated deal for the Commanders to return to a stadium in Washington, D.C., unless they return to the name "Washington Redskins."

"The Washington "Whatever's" should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," Mr. Trump wrote.

Sports insiders said we could have avoided the 2016 election if NFL owners just let him buy the Bills.

I figure he'll do anything to distract from the actual issues.

He does need a pretty big distraction right now.

He’s a demented rapist.

It’s odd how few people seem to know that.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 88 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

What did he and Epstein do at that party of just them and a bunch of children without guardians?

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 week ago

I don't think anyone wants to have to read the answer to that question.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Didn't you see the President's post? Those kids were at the party without indians....

Sounds like good reason to wait for the despot to die or whatever.

FWIW, billionaires run the NFL, they should pay for their own fucking stadia.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

They are also non profit. Hahahahahahaha

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

NFL is a legally legislated monopoly.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oddly enough, there was another football league (USFL) which won an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

I'll bet you'll never guess what dipshit owned the New Jersey Generals until USFL went under. /s

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There’s a great story about how that dipshit sunk the entire enterprise by being a complete incompetent dipshit.

How the old USFL emerged, and how Trump helped kill it

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 16 points 1 week ago

Of fucking course he did. It had to be him.

I like that even back then the jury found him unlikeable, though that seems to be the trend his whole life.

I thought the MLB was the only ~~legally legislated~~ court mandated monopoly in the states.

This case is the main reason why MLB has not faced any competitor leagues since 1922, and MLB, to date, remains the only American sports league with such an antitrust exemption

Probably more bullshit that Ken Burns taught me.

Fixed that for you

[–] Worthess@discuss.online 23 points 1 week ago

Child rapist

Its because he desperately needs to distract from himself being at the top of the Epstein list.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

He's just trying to manufacturer distractions from Epstein conversations. Stay focused!

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean yes, the commanders is a shitty name but going back to the racial slurs isn't the solution. I personally was a fan of the Washington football team era.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I think the Washington Nazis is currently the most fitting.

Remember: it is your duty to marginalize republicans at all opportunities, to the maximum extent within your power and the law.

Trump still pissed about his NFL snub. What a fuckin child.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 13 points 1 week ago

Definitely sweats the big stuff. I assume that the libertarians are fine with being told what to do by this joker. He must be trying to move on from his bromance with Epstein and needs a new controversy.
