By Frank Pingue (Reuters) -Two Native American groups on Monday condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to block a new football stadium in Washington, D.C., unless the local NFL team restores its old and controversial Redskins name.

The Washington franchise has changed away from its nickname twice, first changing from Redskins in 2020 before its most recent change to Commanders in 2022. After retiring the Redskins name and logo, the team adopted the temporary moniker of the Washington Football Team, using the same branding and uniforms from before, sans Redskins insignia.
