[h=1]Aaron Hernandez jerseys no longer sold on NFL website[/h]
Aaron Hernandez jerseys probably weren't selling too well in the past couple of weeks, but now they won't be selling at all, at least not at the NFL's online store.
NFLShop.com is no longer offering Hernandez's No. 81 jersey. "We decided it was the appropriate step to take," an NFL spokesman said in a statement to
USA Today.
Over the course of six hours on Wednesday, Hernandez
was arrested,
released by the
Patriots and
charged with murder.
Hernandez jerseys were available on NFLShop.com until at least 3:15 p.m. ET -- just after the charges were announced -- but they're not there now. If you try to
buy one, you'll be offered a
Tom Brady jersey instead.
Not everyone waited until 3:15 p.m. ET to stop selling Hernandez jerseys. The Patriots Pro Shop had
stopped selling Hernandez jerseys by 11:15 a.m. ET.
According to
USA Today, several other sites have discontinued the sale of Hernandez jerseys, including Nike.com and FansEdge.com. Hernandez jerseys are also no longer available on the website for Dick's Sporting Goods.
Of course, just because companies have stopped selling Hernandez jerseys doesn't mean you can't buy them. If for some weird reason you decide you have to have an Aaron Hernandez jersey, plenty of them are still available on Amazon.com and eBay.
