We have a monopoly power in online shopping using that power for a political end. I am sure the Chamber of Commerce GOP and many Freepers who think being pro-business and pro-free market are synonymous will say nothing.

Amazon already caved under pressure not to allow people to purchase certain books.

Wait, “Amazon”?
Isn’t that Cultural Appropriation from South American Indigenous peoples?
Waiting for Bezos to replace his name with something less offensive.

Up here, people love Trump flags and huge Trump signs. Apparently, it’s to trigger snowflakes. Now I bet their Redskins apparel will be coming out

Okay.
I suggest they rename themselves the Washington Whiteskins. Then no one will be offended, right?

We're talking foolsball, right?
Just last week Freepers were boycotting the Numbskull Fool's League because it enables American hating ghetto trash to get rich.
Now we're supposed to boycott Amazon because, why?
I absolutely could not care less about anything sports related.
I've got to have a score care to keep up with who our enemy du jour is.

What about all the Nike /merchandise/clothing/shoes crap? All that garbage is made in slave labor factories. PULL IT!

A Washington Post poll of Native Americans a few years back showed 90% either liked the name, or didn’t care one way or the other. It’s white liberals that are upset and they’re telling Native Americans to sit down, shut up and let white folks make the decision.

they should go with the name DC Foreskins ..!

Amazon acting like an Indian giver.

Already ordered some shirts a few days ago.
Allegedly they are on the way.
Well see....
They will likely be the last NFL items I ever purchase...

I’d vote to change the name of the team to The Rainbow Pansies. Now there’s a name that would instill fear even in a widdle bunny wabbit.

Call them Washington Crackers. White people dont get upset about insignificant things like this. Unless theyre BLM wiggers.

Since the GENERALS is taken (and too much for them to live up to), call them the PRIVATES.
Since female cheerleaders is too sexist for a neutered team, their mascot should be the SURRENDER MONKEY.
