Trump cites 'common sense' in Washington football team name debate
When asked about Washington's football team and whether it will be known as the Washington Commanders or if it will revert to its controversial former name, the Washington Redskins, President Donald Trump emphasized the need for "common sense," whether that be "popular or unpopular."
"I spoke to people of Indian heritage that love that name, and they love that name," Trump said, adding that he believes it is a "superior name to what they have right now." However, while mentioning several teams named after Native Americans, such as the Kansas City Chiefs, he noted that "the Redskins, perhaps that's a little different, a little bit different."
