Social media detectives uncovered a 12-year-old tweet from President Donald Trump about the “Washington Redskins” team name, and let’s just say it aged like milk. On Sunday, news broke that President Donald Trump had threatened to hold up the Washington Commanders’ push for a new stadium if they didn’t go back to the “Redskins” team

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Sunday to interfere with a deal to build a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team, now known as the Commanders, changes its name back to Redskins.

Scott Turner, the HUD secretary and former Washington Redskins defensive back, backed President Donald Trump's push to change the Commanders' nickname.

Donald Trump is facing criticism for demanding the Washington Commanders revert to their former name, Redskins, a term widely considered a racial slur. This stance is hypocritical, given his 2013 tweet criticizing Barack Obama for similar commentary.

Two Native American groups on Monday condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to block a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team restores its old and controversial Redskins name.
