Listing suppressed targeted community?

I recently listed a LICENSED 1976 topps Football card of Joe Theisman who was a member of the Washington Redskins at the time. The listing was removed, and this is part of the response I got from Bonanza.

It is not that we have anything against such items, it is just that we do not feel that they are a good fit for the audience that we are targeting in our community.

Can someone here tell my what type of audience they are targeting?

Many platforms don’t allow the Redskins title, including Bonanza. I think it’s silly too, after all it is or was a real tem name.

This is an official Bonanza response.

Hello Midwest_Collectibles,

Thanks for your question. Sorry if there’s been any confusion. While I am not a member of our team that monitors item listings like this. I think that it is likely that the racial component of that particular team’s name, which has since been changed, very well could have something to do with this. That being said, if you reach our to our support team I am confident that they will be able to give you a more detailed explanation, if you need one.

Thanks!
