Commanders' new stadium saga takes the most bizarre plot twist yet

The Washington Commanders will host President Donald J. Trump for their home game against the Detroit Lions in Week 10, where he is expected to participate in halftime activities honoring the military. And according to one bombshell report, there will also be something else up for discussion.

According to Don Van Natta Jr. and Adam Schefter from ESPN, President Trump is keen for the new Commanders' stadium at the old RFK site to be named in his honor. No formal conversations have taken place as yet, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt outlined her support, claiming that the stadium would not have been possible without his influence.
