After investors call for name change, Nike appears to wipe 'Redskins' off its website

Another of the Washington NFL team’s most significant financial partners has apparently made a move against the team’s name.

Nike, the NFL’s primary jersey and apparel supplier, appears to have wiped the team’s entire collection of merchandise from its website. Searches for “Redskins” yield nothing. Searches for “Washington NFL” have similar results. Meanwhile, “Cowboys” and any other team name lead to your usual bunch of jerseys and shirts.

It’s worth noting the team’s own online pro shop does not appear to have been affected, just Nike’s own store.
