I think they just need to change the Mascot to a
Red Potato with a helmet on. How can that be wrong??

I am tired of all this racism.

Since when a name that PROMOTES American Indians is offensive?

Since when identifying American Indians to a very popular sport and glorifying them is offensive?

Go ahead, erase American Indians from our heritage, erase American Indians from our minds..

Out of sight out of mind.. right?

That way they can continue to be oppressed and divided by identity politics and liberal policies.

SHAME, SHAME on you Amazon!

For every Cancel Culture move Amazon makes, I see an opportunity for an industrious entrepreneur out there somewhere.

Pissed the Indian-dominated Amazon pulled most Southern Confederate items. Amazon is dominated by Indians, so why do they object. Oh feather Indians, not dot Indians... I see now...

I was just shopping at a local Giant Foods. They were offering Redskins purified water BOGO. I guess they want to clear out such racist merchandise as water.

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

Zulu Nation?

Washington Palefaces?

Washington BLMs?

I will not be buying anything from Amazon until they divorce themselves from this silliness. For 87 years, the Washingon Redskins was a pro-football team’s name and that was okay. Suddenly some liberal jackass takes exception to it and Amazon gets involved. Who are the clowns at Amazon who made this decision?

We have a monopoly power in online shopping using that power for a political end

No we don't; DHGate is even bigger than Amazon. There are tons of online shopping choices out there. I ain't giving up my Amazon Prime. I don't care how Stalin was the CEO.

Amazon Prime is no longer two day delivery. Seems to be a breach of contract to me. I think it’s because I am White, I demand Repatriation.

I guess human skin, that is harvested from CCP prisioners would be permitted to sell on Amazon.

#7 re “I’ve got to have a score card to keep up with who our enemy du jour is”.

To quote Roy Schneider in “Jaws”, “You’re gonna need more score cards”.

Appears it has all been pulled as of 7/09, 7:30 AM, PST - except for a t-shirt that says "This team made me drink" - with a feather logo.
