One of the biggest stories in the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders game on Sunday was that President Donald Trump was in attendance. He was sitting in a suite with Commanders owner Josh Harris.

Washington lost to Detroit by a final score of 44-22. The Lions have a 6-3 record this season and the Commanders record is 3-7. Also, according to Benny Johnson, he posted on his Twitter, “Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris presents President Trump with a 47 jersey. Incredible.” It was a nice photo with Harris and Trump.

There is no doubt that Commanders fans saw the photo with Harris and Trump taking a picture with the #47 jersey. This is what some Washington fans had to say about it on Twitter:

Interesting gesture from the team owner. It will be remembered by fans, but what does it really signify?

The team name for now is the Commanders. Is there a chance that Washington will change its team name back to the Redskins when they eventually move back to Washington D.C.? That is something to keep an eye on. For now, it is the Commanders and there are a lot of NFL fans who still call this Washington team the Redskins.
There may have been some private talks about that between Harris and Trump. However, this photo will be a memorable one between the Commanders owner and the current sitting President of the United States of America.
