Amazon is the latest retailer to pull Washington Redskins merchandise from its digital shelves as pressure mounts on the NFL team to change its name, which has long been considered a racial slur.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the news in an email, adding, “With the announcement from the Washington team and the NFL, we are removing products with the team’s name and logo from our stores.”
CNBC reported that Amazon sent a letter to its third-party sellers on July 8, giving them 48 hours to remove flagged products.
Amazon did not comment on how many listings will be removed.
