(1,974 posts)He also owns the Sixers . Worst owner ever. It has been an open secret he wants the previous name. This may give him the cover to proceed.

(46,314 posts)And with the success of the team since he bought it, there is little reason to think that's going to change.

And as far as worst owner ever, you must not know about Dan Snyder.
PS - for the record, the 76ers sucked for the eight or so years before Harris bought the team, missing the playoffs half of those years and losing in the first round the other times. Harris and his group intentionally let the team tank for several years, giving them better draft pick odds. The team then made the playoffs eight straight years and while they never got past the second round of the playoffs, more often than not they made it to the second round. They stunk this season, a situation that undoubtedly had several causes, not the least of which is that an injured Joel Embid only started 19 games out of 82.

(1,701 posts) American Indian Studies in Wisconsin (often referred as Wisconsin Act 31) refers to the requirement that all public school districts and pre-service education program provide instruction on the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of Wisconsins eleven federally-recognized American Indian nations and tribal communities.
Similar legislation exists in Montana, Minnesota, Maine, Washington, Arizona & I think Oklahoma.
I will add more on this later.

(1,299 posts)Trump wanted to be a NFL owner.
He owned a football team in a rival league, USFL in the 1980s.
USFL had success as long as they did not compete against the NFL.
He and other owners moved the USFL schedule to the fall, which helped kill the league.
Some analysts felt he wanted to force a merger.

(138,385 posts)In 1933, the Boston Braves football team became known as the Washington Redskins. Then, 87 years later, the Redskins became known as the Washington Football Team to avoid any further controversy about potential racial slurs. Today, president Donald Trump would like to see the now Washington Commanders go back to their previous name, before the logos changed in 2022.
Once again, questions surrounding the Washington football teams name comes at a very interesting time, when the franchise is trying to secure a new stadium location after being at Northwest Stadium since 1997. However, the current stadium is located in Landover, Maryland, and many would like to see the Commanders play closer to their home state, preferably in the nations capital of Washington D.C.
However, recently president Trump issued a threat, that if the current Commanders ownership group, led by Josh Harris, isnt willing to reconsider switching the team name back to the Redskins, then Trump says he may put a restriction on the team. This restriction would even include not making a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington (D.C.).

Trump believes the Commanders franchise would be much more valuable and the deal would be more exciting for everyone.

I think we should rename the Trump Tower "Donny Dementia's tiny mushroom compensator."

To: "Today, president (Asshole) would like to see the now Washington Commanders go back to their previous name, before the logos changed in 2022."
Totally normal, right?

(1,195 posts)Trump may pretend to be stupid, but he isn't stupid. This is another distraction. He has to know this will create outrage. He's counting on it. The noise around the Epstein files must be getting to him. We need to keep it up.

(43,094 posts)one of the six original baseball teams..."
...who were the Blues, the Napoleons and the Naps (both for Nap Lajoie, one of the best hitters in history) before becoming the Indians in 1915.
But The Felon thinks they were "one of the six original baseball teams." I wonder who his other five were.
