I hope they don’t plan on taking this as a business loss on their income taxes. It’s a self-imposed business loss.

[cyclotic]

They are free to destroy their property. Stupid but it’s their choice. Same reason it’s my choice to never darken their doors again.

[Old Yeller]

New slogan for them: “That’s why we’re Dicks”!

[cgbg]

They are a private company—and I hope they don’t mind if I spit on their sidewalk every time I pass their store (never to enter it—ever). :-)

[Newbomb Turk]

Dick's owns Field and Stream stores that sell guns too. I wonder if that included those stores.

Dick's have been Dicks for a while now. I don't give them my money.

[Red Badger]

Bass Pro Shops is my sporting goods store..................

[packrat35]

That’s going to cost them millions. Stock holders should sue.

[Truth29]

"I still think some shareholders should file suit to stop them. They’ve destroying profits that would benefit shareholders."

Same thought. They are publicly traded and are deliberately destroying inventory and profits. Maybe a class action lawsuit could be put together.

[bigbob]

A good time to get those “Going out of Business Forever” signs painted up too.

[libertylover]

Don’t let them take a tax write-off for it.

[ScottinVA]

Then it’s not “Dick’s Sporting Goods” anymore; a more appropriate name would be “Little Richard’s Outdoor Chic Boutique.”

[LambSlave]

That’s like a woman having her tubes tied because the woman down the street has had too many kids.

More like a man cutting off his Johnson because the man down the street raped some kids in a school in Florida.

[taxcontrol]

Executive malfeasance.

[Keyhopper]

I’m afraid to enter the store now as stupid that strong might be contagious.

[Thank You Rush]

Didn’t they do something similar after the Sandy Hook shooting? I just seem to recall their name being tossed around when they come up with some change in their policy then.

[SkyDancer]

Same thing. Or having a vasectomy because the guy down the street has too many kids.

[TexasFreeper2009]

lol

prediction.

Dick’s sporting goods bankrupt within 10 years.

[pfflier]

Quick liquidate my stock in them. That type of management is begging to be bankrupt in a few months.

[Nachoman]

I’ll take their guns off their hands and pinkie promise to destroy them.

[elpadre]

I predict Dick’s Sporting will be seeking bankruptcy by the end of the President’s first term.
