These CEOS are dummer than dirt.....getting involved in politics gets fifty percent of your customers made at you.

Yep. All they had to do is keep quiet and weather the storm. The kind of people who would boycott them because they are lenient about firearms are not the kind of people who would shop there in the first place. Those folks shop at REI.

Did you get one of them rare ones?

Yes, but it did come with a year's supply of quinoa.

“Some of those customers that buy firearms, buy other things also,”

Halfway there. Here’s the other half:

“Some of those customers that DO NOT buy firearms buy other things also, and they’re pissed off too.”

“It’s called a boycott....”

Disk’s CEO should have looked at what happened to Smith and Wesson when it dove into the pot with Clinton to try to create a firearms cartel. It was boycotted into bankruptcy. Let’s ,do what we all can to make the same happen to Dick’s

The early Subaru's were unbelievable cars. We were a one car family raising three boys, had it for 15 years. A sedan, but I hauled everything in and on it, playground timbers, furniture, deer in the trunk or on the trunk rack. Was two wheel front drive and never missed work due to a snowstorm. Outback mountain roads for camping and deer hunting.

Failed inspection once in its later years because the rear floorboards were rusted out, you could see the pavement. Some mesh wire and quick rite and I was good to go.

Was gobsmacked to find out the secret was it used the vw engine. The japs water cooled it and mounted it transverse over the front axle.

Shareholders shouldn’t worry too much. Dick’s is just going through a refocusing to better reflect current trends in urban adventurism. I’ve read that they plan to remodel the section once reserved for firearms.

The new look for Dick’s will be cutting edge dildos and buttplugs, made with the highest quality silicon, guaranteed to hold up during all those wild trips to the outback!

Yes Xir, fun times ahead at Dick’s!

A reminder to Freepers that REI also decided to get political over firearms, even though they don’t sell firearms.

Since they were going so much out of their way to inject themselves into the controversy, I regretted that I’d bought two pairs of hiking boots from them this past year, until I remembered their 365 day return policy. So those were returned for a full refund, and the next day I ordered exact replacements online. :)

If lots of people did that, it would really make a point!

My wife owns a Subaru, but let’s be perfectly frank: They are associated with diesel dyke, clam munching lesbos.

So too are Saabs, for some reason.

“Some of those customers that buy firearms, buy other things also,” Dick’s Chief Executive Edward Stack told analysts on a conference call."

Well....duh.

Kind of like Apple computers; associated with leftists of the non-technical variety, but Rush Limbaugh dotes on them.
