President Donald Trump’s recent demand for the Washington Commanders to return to their old “Redskins” name has created new tensions in the ongoing stadium deal negotiations in Washington, D.C. The team is currently in talks to build a new stadium at their former field location in the District.
According to People, the stadium deal, which includes at least $1 billion in D.C. taxpayer subsidies, was progressing through negotiations between city officials and the team before Trump’s intervention. The plan involves moving the team from their current location at Northwest Stadium in Maryland to a new facility in D.C.
