Confederate Army Uniforms Pulled from Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace

Outfits. People were offended by outfits that are hundreds of years old. They pulled a redcoat uniform and cap too.

They should make Allah, Muhammed, and Jesus Christ avatar costumes. just for shlitzandgiggles.

That seems like a severe over-reaction to be fair!
I have a confederate Flag in my room, but don't care for what it symbolises in term of slavery and racism which is something I'm strongly against. I just like the aesthetics of it...

I don't understand why it would be put on the Marketplace, anyway.

1) You KNOW it's gonna draw a negative reaction. It's just gonna be something that's not worth the time to put up.
2) I still don't understand why you would want to wear the uniform, even virtually, of a dead country that lost the only war it ever fought.

Well I think they only put the outfits up to make a little extra money for the 4th of July, and the be honest, 99% of the outfits they put in there are garbage anyways.

I can agree with that. I just would have thought that MS would be smart enough to avoid the controversy.

You have to admit, MS is generally good about stamping out racial controversy and nonsense, at least on Live in the stuff they can control.
