President Trump isn't kidding around with his new threat to the NFL's Washington Commanders, the White House says.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called Donald Trump a “nontraditional president" and said sports fans are behind him on the name change.

President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated his call for the Washington Commanders to change their name back to the “Redskins,” threatening to restrict the NFL team’s stadium deal if they don’t, though it’s unclear how he would be able to.
