Ex-Redskins Star wants the name of the team to return to the NFL

Jason Buck was a defensive line player for the Washington Redskins when the team passed the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl XXVI during the 1991 season.

The names of the Redskins changed in 2020 for the Washington football team, then for the Washington commanders.

While the team is starting to build an inheritance as commanders, the owner of the Josh Harris team does not intend to return to the old name.

President Donald Trump recently suggested that he thought that the organization had made a error in modification of the name.

Buck, an Amerindian, said TMZ SPORTS He wants to speak to Trump by the name and say to him, “Get in with us and defend common sense.

“It is as if your grandmother had died, and your grandfather marries a new woman, and she enters and comes out all the photos of the house and puts hers,” he added.

“It’s like, you just lost your family. It was devastating for everyone.”

The owner of the commanders, Josh Harris, told Bret Baier “Special report” In April, despite its plan to bring the team back to Washington, DC, on the site of the old RFK stadium, the names of the Redskins would not return.

“The names of the commanders actually took an incredible element in our building,” said Harris. “So people that certain types of players who are difficult, who love football are delegated commanders, and Jayden (Daniels), for example, is a commander and they are classified.

“And, you know, the corporate staff have entered it, and, obviously, we are in a military city here. There are more military staff than everywhere else. So we are going to go ahead with the names of the commanders, excited about it and not look back.”

Although he may not have changed the name, Trump thinks that a winning team will stay with fans whatever happens. This is exactly what Washington did last season, reaching the NFC championship match for the first time in almost three decades under the new quarter Jayden Daniels.

“But, you know, winning can sound everything well,” said Trump earlier this month. “So, if they suddenly win the commanders sound well. But I would not have changed the name.”
