Trump threatens to hold up stadium deal if Washington Commanders don't switch back to Redskins
President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. read more President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a 'big clamoring for this' as well. The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons and both have said they have no plans to change them back. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump said the Washington football team would be 'much more valuable' if it restored its old name. '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,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington,' Trump said on his social media site.

The team announced it would drop the Redskins name and the Indian head logo in 2020 during a broader reckoning with systemic racism and police brutality. The Commanders and the District of Columbia government announced a deal earlier this year to build a new home for the football team at the site the old RFK Stadium, the place the franchise called home for more than three decades. Trump's ability to hold up the deal remains to be seen. President Joe Biden signed a bill in January that transferred the land from the federal government to the District of Columbia. The provision was part of a short-term spending bill passed by Congress in December. While D.C. residents elect a mayor, a city council and commissioners to run day-to-day operations, Congress maintains control of the city's budget. Josh Harris, whose group bought the Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023, said earlier this year the name was here to stay. Not long after taking over, Harris quieted speculation about going back to Redskins, saying that would not happen. The team did not immediately respond to a request for comment following Trump's statement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Washington team started in Boston as the Redskins in 1933 before moving to the nation's capital four years later. The Cleveland Guardians' president of baseball operations, Chris Antonetti, indicated before Sunday's game against the Athletics that there weren't any plans to revisit the name change. 'We understand there are different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but obviously it's a decision we made. We've got the opportunity to build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future that's in front of us,' he said. Cleveland announced in December 2020 it would drop Indians. It announced the switch to Guardians in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out 'Chief Wahoo' as its primary logo. The name changes had their share of supporters and critics as part of the national discussions about logos and names considered racist. Trump posted Sunday afternoon that 'The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change. What he doesn't understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Matt Dolan, the son of the late Larry Dolan, no longer has a role with the Guardians. He ran the team's charity endeavors until 2016. Matt Dolan was a candidate in the Ohio U.S. Senate elections in 2022 and '24, but lost. Washington and Cleveland share another thing in common. David Blitzer is a member of Harris' ownership group with the Commanders and holds a minority stake in the Guardians.

Who Will Blink First? Congress-Tharoor Discomfort Apparent On Day 1 Of Monsoon Session
Last Updated: During Shashi Tharoor's first meeting with party colleagues, there was a keen sense of discomfort as many of them were unhappy about his controversial comments on Operation Sindoor For Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, the first day of the monsoon session in Parliament on Monday may have felt like his first day in school. Tharoor's day began at 10.15 am with a meeting of Congress MPs to discuss party strategy during the session, which will end next month. During this meeting, however, there was a keen sense of discomfort as many of his colleagues were unhappy about his controversial comments after Operation Sindoor. This meeting, too, came a day after his viral remarks on prioritising nation over party, leading Congress leader V Muraleedharan to suggest excluding Tharoor from all party events in Kerala. According to party sources, there is no such decision yet but Tharoor knew he had once again stirred the top leadership. During the meeting, some leaders spoke to him but he remained mostly silent, they said. Outside, however, Tharoor was seen interacting with BJP leaders like Suresh Gopi, also from Kerala, and the two exchanged numbers. He met Tejaswi Surya, with whom he had been part of a delegation to the US, and Praful Patel. At one point, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi approached Tharoor and joked: 'Now that you said nation first, the Congress thinks you are joining the BJP", to which Tharoor merely smiled. The Congress seems uncertain on how to handle Tharoor. In Kerala, there is evident animosity towards him, leading to open and direct attacks. The state Congress believes his words will only benefit the CPI(M) and the BJP, which is gradually gaining ground. But the Congress central leadership is hesitant to address him. They feel that taking action against Tharoor on issues like national security would be politically damaging. In parliament corridors, there was a brief encounter between KC Venugopal and Tharoor. Venugopal is powerful and close to the Gandhis but is said to belong to a different camp than Tharoor, with whom he rarely sees eye to eye. When urged by the media, he approached Tharoor to state he had no issues with him. But attempts to take pictures together were unsuccessful. Both sides are observing and gauging each other, waiting to see who will blink first. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 23:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jagdeep Dhankhar resigns as Vice President, cites health concerns
On this episode of To The Point, the monsoon session of Parliament begins with the opposition demanding a discussion on Operation Sindhu and the Pahalgam terror attack. The government has agreed to a 25-hour debate in Parliament next week, but the opposition continues to press for a specific date and the Prime Minister's attendance. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accused the government of silencing him, stating, "I am the leader of opposition, I have the right, but they never let me speak." The programme also covers the motion submitted by over 200 MPs for the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Verma, the acquittal of 12 convicts in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case, and South Indian actors being summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in an illegal betting case. A heated debate unfolded over Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's repeated allegations that his mic is silenced in Parliament, a claim he made as recently as March 18, 2025. The discussion saw sharp exchanges on parliamentary rules versus conventions, with one panelist questioning the Leader of the Opposition's conduct. The debate also touched upon 'Operation Sindhu,' with claims that it paralyzed Pakistan's military readiness. Another major focus was the controversial voter list revision in Bihar, which has led to protests in Patna and a challenge in the Supreme Court. A key question raised during the fiery debate was, "Where is accountability in this nation? That is the problem what is happening." The issue of accountability was raised in the context of intelligence failures and the performance of the government.
