Nike pulls Redskins merchandise from website after team sponsors demand name change

Nike has pulled all merchandise pertaining to the NFL’s Washington Redskins from its website following calls from the team’s sponsors to change the name of the franchise.

Searches for Washington Redskins apparel on Nike’s website yielded no results Thursday night, the day after 87 investment firms sent letters to three Redskins sponsors, Nike, FedEx, and PepsiCo, urging them to end their relationships with the team if it did not change its name, according to Fox Business.
