💨 Abstract
The article discusses a 2025 controversy where then-President Donald Trump demanded that the Washington NFL team's name, which had been changed from a racial slur to the "Commanders" in 2020, be reverted. This move is opposed by Native American groups and researchers citing evidence that such mascots cause significant mental health issues among Indigenous peoples. The American Psychological Association has recommended retiring these mascots since 2001.
