Big-name retailers Walmart and Target appear to have removed Washington Redskins merchandise from their websites as corporate pressure mounts for the NFL team to change its name.

The disappearance of Redskins gear from the Walmart and Target websites was reported Monday by Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington.

“You can shop for gear from 31 of 32 NFL teams on Walmart.com right now,” Hailey wrote. “Bet you can guess which team isn’t represented.”

I don’t know what those merchants are worried about.

I haven’t seen anyone wearing NFL gear in years.

I haven't seen a white person wearing an NFL jersey in years. And I can guarantee you that the Redskins were probably nowhere near the top of the list when it comes to the popularity of their merchandise among NFL teams.

That's probably what's motivating these corporate dopes more than anything else.

Crayola getting rid of the “white” crayon next? No more ceiling white at Sherwin Williams? This has to end.

POC, any color, in my neck of the woods aren’t wearing the gear, either.

Both walmart and Target have grocery sections. Are they going to stop selling redskin potatoes?

That’s good to hear. I look forward to the day when the NFL as a corporate entity completely collapses.

That is so non-inclusive.

How else are Native Americans remembered in popular culture?

Besides the old westerns on the rerun channels, but those are directed towards us old folks.

A long while back LA Raiders caps/hats/beenies were all the rage over here in the Netherlands. I bet none of them knew what NFL was though so lots of people just buy them to look a certain way too.

Probably because of N.W.A.

In the summer of 2016, I was in Dick’s and noticed they had about 20 or so large banners hanging from the ceiling depicting individual members of the US Olympic team. I quickly noticed a pattern among those individuals depicted on the banners, so I walked the entire store to confirm. Sure enough, not one White guy was depicted on any of the banners. All women and minorities. You would have thought the US team didn’t have any White guys. I left the store and have never set foot in Dick’s again.

It is arguably racist to not permit a certain race to freely receive the honor of display of their character on a professional public venue.

Pretty amazing considering all the hardware Phelps brought home in 2016. I mean, he’s only the greatest swimmer of all time. Why would he have a banner? Not at all surprising from what we all know now about Dicks.

Also: What ever happened to “diversity”?

(When Communists take over diversity is a defined as a sin. Sameness is part of the Communist Utopian dream. That way they can pretend to eliminate God Whose existence transcends egalitarianism and Whose existence absolutely condemns their methods and Whose elimination is at their very hopeless, disastrous core.)
