Native Americans rail against Trump's call to change Commanders' name back.

WASHINGTON ‒ Native American groups fought for years to get this city's National Football League team to change its name.

Now, President Donald Trump wants to change it back to a moniker many Native Americans consider offensive and disrespectful.

“No Native American child should have to sit through a pep rally or in a stadium where their culture is being mocked,” said Jacqueline De León, senior staff attorney for the Native American Rights Fund.

Trump threatened over the weekend to block a deal to build a stadium in Washington, D.C., if the Washington Commanders team refuses to revert to the name it had from 1937 when the team moved from Boston until 2022.
