In today’s America, where wokeness goes unchecked, changing beloved sports teams’ names is par for the course. It’s a pity we’re living in times when the cancel culture mob runs wild, erasing pieces of our history out of fear of offending someone. Case in point: the Washington Redskins’ transformation into the Commanders. What was once a fierce name rooted in tradition and pride has been swapped for something bland and politically neutered.
Enter President Trump, a man known for his unabashed forthright opinions. He has made it clear that he would never have jumped on the name-change bandwagon. Why? Because some things just don’t need fixing. The Redskins were a pillar of tradition, a symbol of resilience and strength. But today, we cater more to feelings than facts, and tradition is trampled under the guise of progress.

This madness of political correctness is dragging us down. The name change was an appeasement to the vocal minority while the majority of fans were left shaking their heads. But Trump, a champion of common sense, cuts through the noise. He understands that if the Commanders start winning games, people might look past the name change. For Trump, it’s not about the politics of a name—it’s about a legacy of winning. He knows the spirit of the Redskins went beyond just letters.
How did we even get here? In a culture obsessed with rewriting history, there’s a foolhardy belief that changing names can cure all societal issues. This insanity doesn’t stop at sports teams; it spans our schools, our towns, our traditions. The common sense step would be to celebrate history, not dismantle it piece by piece. But here we are, at the mercy of those who champion virtue-signaling over real value.
The bigger question remains: When will we finally stand up against this erasure of American culture? When will we draw the line against woke warriors dismantling our heritage? Because if we don’t, next they’ll come after something else, and soon there will be nothing left. Trump saw the error in this culture of apologizing, and maybe it’s time America follows his lead. Do we want a country with roots and a backbone, or one easily swayed by the latest trends?
