In private letter to Redskins, FedEx said it will remove signage if name isn’t changed
The two-page letter, from the general counsel of FedEx to the general counsel at Washington Football Inc. (the team’s corporate name), was emailed the same day FedEx publicly acknowledged in a one-sentence statement that it had communicated its “request” that the team change its name.
The private letter is more detailed and pointed. It noted that the team’s name, which it never cited, poses the risk of harming FedEx’s brand reputation and is inconsistent with its commitment to a more inclusive society.

Within hours of FedEx’s actions, Nike, without comment, removed all Redskins merchandise from its online store.

Soon after, PepsiCo., Bank of America and Nike followed with statements supporting the step and an ultimate change in team name, as did NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
There is quite a lot of doing-the-right-thing-for-the-wrong-reasons here, but still, right direction and all that.

You know what… if they get cocky and do that BS where they don’t concentrate on multiple states, we’re fucked. GA is also vulnerable, and there are several swing states they should not ignore.

AFAICT, the Republicans are far, far more likely to ignore states they really shouldn’t.

That may be, but this isn’t about the republicans. The democrats can’t take anything for granted, and they should be putting in the effort to fight for the whole country instead of continuing to write off those of us who aren’t in blue states.

You can bet plenty of eyebrows shot up in Republican Party headquarters and campaign offices when Bob Brown’s outstanding column announcing his “independence from the Republican Party” hit the Missoulian last week. A lifelong Republican with an absolutely outstanding record of achievement and public service, Brown’s repudiation of what the Republican Party has become — and its two top-tier candidates in Montana — were rock solid and indicative of President Trump’s rapidly declining approval across the nation.
