However, the name of the red hose will not return, as Harris explained so much Bret Baier on “Special report.”

“The name of the commander actually took over the incredible type of element in our building,” Harris answered Baier’s question about the name Redskins, which returns as part of this new stadium agreement. “So, people who are heavy types of players who are love who love football are delegated by commanders and Jayden [Daniels]For example, he is a commander and they are ranked.

“And, you know, business staff has entered it, and obviously we are here in the Military City. There are more military staff than anywhere else, so somehow we move forward with the commander’s name, excited for that, and without looking back.”

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Government of the Columbia District And the commanders of the commander have reached a contract to return to the position of RFK Stadium, which is now awaiting approval of the DC City Council.

Congressary legislators supported Harris back to the Star Stadium, provided that the NFL team would honor the Old Redskins logo. Senator Steve Daines, R-Mont., He said he would support an organization that goes forward with his plan after a “negotiation of good faith” with both entities.

“We called the leaders in case it really woke up wrong,” Daines said in November. “Ironi that they canceled the Indian’s culture because the Dei movement went too far. This is the honor of the Blackfeet chief who was born in Montana. He is very appreciated. The Blackfeet tribe of Montana, their current chairman and the tribal council signed a letter in a strong support to return the logo.

“We have good conversations with NFL and with the commanders. It is a good faith in negotiations that go ahead that will allow this logo to be used again. Perhaps revenues go to the Foundation that could help the Indians in sports and so on. We bring good progress and, based on a good faith negotiations, I made the decision to support this account in the committee.

Harris told Baier that it was hope that the construction would start on the spot in 2027, and the opening day was targeted for 2030.

Baier also asked if the RFK stadium would remain name even though it was a new stadium.

“We’ll get closer to our heritage, right? So, I think that name should be a part of it,” Harris replied.
