President Trump made his demand on Truth Social on Sunday morning.

"The Washington 'Whatever’s' should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" he wrote on social media.

While President Trump is getting more and more involved in the sports world - one of his golf courses is expected to host a major PGA Tour event next year - his son, Barron Trump, reportedly made a sad sports announcement.

Barron Trump, who is reportedly 6 foot 7 inches, would be a force on the basketball court. Pickup basketball is extremely common in college. It's a great way to stay in shape and a great way to make friends on campus.

However, Barron Trump, who attends NYU, reportedly told a classmate that he was not allowed to play.

Barron Trump, the only child of Melania Trump, was asked by a classmate if he wanted to play pickup basketball at NYU. He reportedly told his classmate that he was "not allowed" to do that.

“He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” Kaya Walker, the president of NYU College Republicans, told Vanity Fair. “He goes to class, he goes home.”

It's disappointing to hear that. No matter how you feel about President Trump, everyone should get to enjoy their college experience to the fullest.

It doesn't sound like Barron Trump is able to do that.
