    Donald Trump isn’t afraid to voice his opinion to millions of people around the world.  While most of his opinions are centered around politics, he is very well in-tune with whats happening in the world of sports.  Specifically, he loves the NFL.

    That being said, he recently made a “controversial” comment about Washington.

    In an interview on Sunday, President Donald Trump expressed his opinion about the Washington Commanders’ name:

    The original name for the team was the Boston Braves for their first season in 1932 before they became the Boston Redskins in 1933.

    The team moved to the capitol of the United States capitol in 1937, becoming the Washington Redskins, a name that would stay until 2020 when they became the Washington Football Team amid scrutiny that the name Redskins was racist toward native americans. In 2022, the team adopted the name Commanders.

    There has been talk that new owner Josh Harris could bring the name Redskins back, but Harris has stated that won’t happen.

    Lucas Tomlinson of Fox News asked Trump if Washington should switch their name back to Redskins. Trump said he wouldn’t have changed the name to begin with.

    “Well, you want me to make a controversial statement? I would,” Trump said. “I wouldn’t have changed the name. It just doesn’t have the same, it doesn’t have the same ring to me. But, you know, winning can make everything sound good. So if they win, all of a sudden the Commanders sounds good, but I wouldn’t have changed the name.”

    Fans on social media tended to agree with Trump.

    “The Native Americans were never, as a majority, angry with the Redskins name. Liberal, old, white women were,” wrote a fan.

    “That’s my President,” posted another.

    “Wow! A really important issue right now,” wrote a poster who thinks there are better issues for Trump to address.

    Here is a look at the whole video:

    Comments started to flood in when fans heard this:

    “NFL might need Trump’s help for a stadium in DC. Hmmmmm. Will the NFL bend the knee?”

    “That’s offensive” scream all the people who call him orange”

    “Hail to the Redskins & Trump !”

    “Of course he does because he is who he is. #Commanders“
