Etsy expands on Redskins ban as pressure over team name grows

Over the past week pressure to change the Washington Redskins’ team name has grown, with the threat of legislation to end the National Football League’s tax-exempt status if it does not act. Online marketplace Etsy has also announced that it will no longer permit the sale of products bearing the team’s name or logo. While some have questioned the policy, a spokesperson for the site has expanded on the site’s approach to takedown and marketplace policing.
