No, Nike did not just release "Boston Massacre" t-shirts to mock Marathon bombing

Eric Stangel, a producer with the long-running late-night comedy show Late Show with David Letterman was in a Nike Outlet store this weekend and spotted a shirt with a message that seemed bizarre and inappropriate, after last week's bombings.

The phrase "Boston Massacre" has long referred to a 1770 attack led by British soldiers against civilians, and in this shirt, was appropriated for the Yankees/Red Sox baseball team rivalry.

Stangel spoke to a store employee, and said he believed the shirts shouldn't be sold so soon after the recent bombing attack.

"We've been taking them down, but somehow they keep ending up back on the rack," the employee is said to have replied.
