Target facing criticism over ‘Trophy’ shirts for women

A T-shirt for women sold by Target that is emblazoned with the word “Trophy” is generating sharp criticism online.

Disgruntled shoppers say the shirt’s message is sexist, and Target shouldn’t be promoting such a message.

A Change.org petition has been launched to try to force Target to stop selling the shirt.

According to USA Today, Target released the following statement regarding the controversial merchandise:

“It is never our intention to offend anyone and we always appreciate receiving feedback from our guests. The shirt you’re describing is part of a collection of engagement and wedding shirts that are available in our women’s and plus size departments. The collection also included shirts that say 'Team Bride,' 'Mrs.' and 'Bride.' These shirts are intended as a fun wink and we have received an overwhelmingly positive response from our guests."
