Amazon is removing Washington Redskins merchandise from its site, after the NFL called on the team to change its name, widely considered a racial slur against Native Americans.
In a note to sellers on Wednesday, Amazon said that it would pull a variety of products featuring the Washington team, including jerseys, t-shirts and jewelry.
"With the announcement from the Washington team and the NFL, we are removing products with the team's name and logo from our stores," according to the notice, which was shared by Ed Rosenberg, who runs an online seller group called ASGTG.
The decision comes after the Washington Redskins said last week it would be reviewing its name after several sponsors, including FedEx, called on the team to rebrand itself?
