So once again we have Trump trying to strong-arm a private business, this it's time a sports franchise, into renaming itself after a racial slur.
Trump is now demanding that the Washington Commanders go back to calling themselves the Redskins. Yes, that name. The one Native American leaders, civil rights groups, and, you know, basic human decency worked for decades to retire.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “heritage” or “tradition.” It’s about control. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America today, a wannabe strongman using political influence to push corporations, teams, and institutions to bend to his outdated, offensive worldview. Not because it serves the people. But because it flatters his ego.
The government has no business dictating what private businesses can and can't do. I wrote about this in the article. This includes the name of a football team.
And yet here we are, watching a man who once called kneeling players “sons of bitches” now demanding we revive a name that dehumanizes entire communities.
