It has been over a week since the tragic Boston Marathon bombings, but the event has not left the conscience of Americans or the news media. In an act of good taste, Nike has decided to pull "Boston Massacre" T-shirts that the brand had made for New York Yankees fans from shelves, ESPNreports. The T-shirt, which features the phrase with blood splatter across the letters, was sold mainly at the Swoosh's outlet stores.

"In light of the tragedy in Boston, we took immediate action last week to remove this product from distribution." Nike spokesperson KeJuan Wilkins said.

Is this a good move by Nike?
