Major retailers Walmart, Target, and Dick's Sporting Goods have pulled Washington Redskins merchandise from their online sites as pressure mounts from companies, corporate sponsors, and others for the franchise to change its name.

Dick's Sporting Goods has not commented publicly on their decision to remove the team's apparel, but Target said that it was in the process of removing the team's items from their assortment, according to CNN.

"Given today's announcement by the NFL and the Washington team's ownership, we are discontinuing the sale of items that reference the team's name and logo," Walmart tweeted.

Nike appeared to remove all Redskins gear from its online store last week. The other 31 NFL teams were listed and a search for "Redskins" came up with no results. Nike did not immediately respond to an email message seeking comment.

The team's name is widely considered a racial slur against Native Americans and the team stated that it would conduct a thorough review of the name.
