\n Nike has yanked Washington Redskins gear from its online store amid renewed calls for the NFL team to change its name.<\/p>\n

The team was conspicuously absent Friday from the section of Nike\u2019s online shop where shoppers can snag NFL-branded T-shirts, jerseys and sneakers. Searches on the site for \u201cRedskins\u201d and \u201cWashington Redskins\u201d yielded no results, but products from the 31 other pro squads were still listed.<\/p>\n

Nike, the NFL\u2019s official jersey supplier, is reportedly among three major companies whose investors have urged them to cut ties with the team unless it changes its name, which some people describe as a racial slur for Native Americans.<\/p>\n

While Oregon-based Nike has not publicly addressed the push, FedEx \u2014 the shipping giant whose name is on the team\u2019s stadium \u2014 said Thursday that it \u201ccommunicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither Nike nor the Redskins immedia<\/a>tely responded to emails seeking comment on the missing gear. But the team announced Friday that it would take up a \u201cthorough review\u201d of its name following initial discussions with the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field,\u201d Redskins owner Dan Snyder said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Redskins have faced calls for years to change their name, which the National Congress of American Indians has called a \u201ccontemptuous\u201d and \u201cracist\u201d term. Some 49 percent of more than 1,000 Native Americans in a recent University of California, Berkeley, study indicated the name was offensive, while the rate rose to 67 percent among people \u201cheavily engaged in their native or tribal cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Redskins fans can\u2019t buy their team gear directly from Nike\u2019s website, the company\u2019s Redskins-branded clothes are still available through the NFL\u2019s official online shop.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
