Rite Aid will snap that right up.
Unfair Chinese trade did it!
I went by a Sports Chalet here in SoCal and they are closing that store. What happened to that Summer recovery that Biden was talking about?
hope and changey!
They should sell off their bathrooms first. Seems to be a demand for them.
“U Pick Up!”
Raise the min wage, inundate business with nonsensical rules, and of course, build multimillion dollar choochoos to places like Fresno.

Remember when Mitt Romney told us how great it was that his Bain Capital saved Sports Authority? The Chickens have come home to Roost!
Amazon has cannibalized the brick and mortar business.
Why drive to the store when you can buy it online and receive it in two days?
No wonder physical stores are shutting down left and right.
With people increasingly accustomed to buying online, stores like Sports Authority have been left high and dry.
Its truly the end of an era.
So now the Denver Broncos will be playing in “Bankrutpcy Field”.
Interesting. One opened in my town only about 2 years ago. Now that it’s going teats up, a Dick’s Sporting Goods, near-by, just broke ground a month ago.
With the shift to on-line purchasing and a general shift to computer game couch potatoes, I don’t give the Dick’s much of a chance either.
Yeah? So?
You’re a racist!

The Sports Authority in Ventura, CA employs one outstanding individual who is 18, male, smart, responsible and already in management at Sports Authority. He was accepted by UCLA and his job gave him tons of learning and business experience.
Sad to see good jobs go away.
Think they’ll have Chuck Taylor All-Stars on sale?
Survived the Great Depression, but couldn't survive the Obama Administration.
The Sports Authority near me in Lakewood,CA used to be a Circuit City. It’s a shame, as the store is super nice, well-stocked and clean. That location seems to have bad luck.
I remember their recent commercials.
I’m not surprised given the horrendous foot-traffic in this crashing economy. There will be a lot more to follow like this.
What fools still believe Obama and the unemployment figures?
Wait, don’t answer that.
Several mentions of Amazon and online retailing, but none of the fact that Sports Authoity dropped their firearms department several years ago. Meanwhile Academy Sports has a large firearms department and seems to be doing OK.
I think both things are important factors.
There was one near my house that closed a number of years ago. But within a quarter of a mile if it, there was also a Dicks Sporting Goods and a Dunhams.........I don’t know how they compete.
I recently went to my local Snapper dealer to get a new mulching blade for my Snapper mower...they wanted $75 for it...for a lawnmower blade!
I found the same one, on line, for $29. Still too much, IMHO, for a lawnmower blade, but at least it was affordable.
Me: "Do you guys carry ammuntion?"
SA: "WHY NO! This is a sporting good store!"
Me: "Bye." (and I never looked back....10 years ago).
