Leavitt says Trump was 'serious' about threat to Washington Commanders
While talking to reporters on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump was "serious" about his threat to the Washington Commanders football team, specifically that the team should revert back to its former name or he "may put a restriction" on the team.
Trump said on Sunday that if the team does not change its name, he would not facilitate a deal for the team's new stadium to be built in Washington, D.C.

"My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way. 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 wrote on his social media platform on Sunday.
