Senator Daines Threatens to Block RFK Stadium Bill Over Commanders' Former Logo

Daines demands the Washington Commanders honor the Native American heritage of their old logo before redevelopment proceeds.

  • Sen. Steve Daines insists the Commanders consult with the Wetzel family and tribal leaders on honoring the former logo.
  • Daines clarified he is not asking for the team to revert to the 'Redskins' name but to recognize the logo's history.
  • Possible solutions include resuming merchandise sales featuring the logo and using proceeds for tribal causes.
  • The RFK Stadium redevelopment bill passed the House and awaits Senate approval, contingent on Daines' stipulations.
  • Team officials have already begun discussions with the Wetzel family to find a suitable way to honor the logo.
