NFL Star Says He’s ‘Excited’ to Play for the ‘Washington Redskins’ After Trump Calls Out Team on Name Change

NFL veteran Von Miller referred to his new team by their former moniker Thursday, just days after President Donald Trump called on the Washington Commanders to reverse their name change.

Speaking with reporters after training camp, the Super Bowl MVP repeatedly used the term “Redskins” to describe his new team.

The Commanders changed their name in 2021 following pressure from left-wing activists.

But that hasn’t stopped longtime fans, or players, from still calling the team what it was for decades.
