ESPN reporters Don Van Natta Jr. and Adam Schefter report that President Donald Trump wants the Commanders’ planned D.C. stadium named after him. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN the name would be beautiful and credited Trump with making the rebuild possible; an unnamed White House source said it will probably happen. Under a term sheet with the District of Columbia, the team would forgo multi-million-dollar annual payments from corporate naming rights. Trump plans to attend the Week 10 home game against Detroit, amid ongoing consequences of the longest federal government shutdown.
