On Wednesday, Amazon announced that Washington Redskins merchandise would no longer be offered on its website. Amazon joined Walmart, Target and Nike, which have already stated they would cease selling Washington Redskins gear.

CNBC reported that a notice shared by Ed Rosenberg, who runs an online seller group called ASGTG, stated, “With the announcement from the Washington team and the NFL, we are removing products with the team’s name and logo from our stores. Failure to properly close or delete all restricted product listings from your inventory may result in deactivation.” CNBC added, “FedEx bought naming rights to the team’s home stadium, FedEx Field, in 1998 for $205 million in a deal that runs through 2025. Frederick Smith, FedEx CEO, is a minority owner of the team.”
