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.
