You can see, according to ad week 37, investment firms and shareholders sent three separate letters to Nike PepsiCo and FedEx last week pressuring each of the companies to cut ties with the NFL franchise.

Of course, the letter mentions black lives matter movement and everything going on, but FedEx actually took that step FedEx which has naming rights to the stadium which the Washington Redskins play made a request Thursday that the team changed the nickname and of course it’s not a nickname that is the name of the team, it is the Washington Redskins we have come.
