As reported by Kotaku, it looks like Walmart is removing “any signing or displays that contain violent images or aggressive behavior,” per internal memos in the wake of last week’s mass shootings.
While Kotaku reached out to Walmart for additional information, Walmart has yet to respond. Additionally, the Apex Legends tournament originally scheduled for this weekend was postponed by ESPN.
