Dick’s Heads Blow It
Their kind don’t learn, until they meet far more severe consequences than that. Everyone, if you want to win after 2020, you’d better start now.
Richard’s Spring Goods may have gone down on a Richard with the dreaded disease, and now they have it.
Same rate of fire as Marlin 60 .22 rimfire that’s been on the shelves in sporting goods stores for decades.
When I go to the mall I always parled by Dicks and would go in their store, someyhimes I’d even purchase something. Not any longer, now I use a different entrance to the mall.
They boasted this would not hurt them at all.
“The CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods told investors...”
Maybe I’m old school, but if I were an ‘investor’ in Dick’s, I’d be suing them for mismanagement. It’s one thing to reposition based on that market forces moving them away from guns - that’s understandable. What’s not is allowing my investment money to be used for a political agenda that can only result in a bad outcome.
Well, may they all close.
As a fringe benefit, there's nothing the crowd who lauds Dick's for this stupidity would like better than to put a wave of people onto the unemployment rolls.
And how many commies started shopping there, thanks to dick’s support?
Zero.
And this during the peak hunting and Christmas seasons...
Leftists never learn: “Don’t be a Dick”
No way i go in to a dick’s or a target.
They can shove their political correct bull crap up their wazoo’s.
Why anybody would patronize dicks if there is an Acadamy sports available is beyond me. dicks like REI is just plain ‘ol overpriced.
Reminds me of target versus Walmart.
Dick’s is a private company. They can sell or not sell anything they want, but when they hire lobbyists to campaign against the rights of American’s to own certain items which are Constitutionally protected, that’s it. Last straw.
I live in a sporting desert. There’s a couple Dick’s stores within 10 miles, besides that Bass Pro and Cabela’s are 50 miles in either direction plus $8 in tolls.
Too bad, that’s where I go.
Except that it's not the "gun sales," per se, but that every American who loves their 2nd Amendment freedoms isn't buying anything from Dick's. No hunting equipment, fishing equipment, camping equipment, athletic equipment ... nothing. Dick's is dead to me.
Company names are being mentioned on this thread so I’ll mention another: Ammoman.
Search for that name on the internet to find good deals on brand-name ammo delivered to your door. The price they quote includes shipping.
I don’t have a financial interest in the recommendation.
Bankruptcy doesn’t matter...the CEO will get a big payout and will be invited to all the commie parties. Employees big losers!!!!
When Dick’s made this announcement I predicted here (not a tough prediction) that Dick’s would struggle mightily because now they would have to rely primarily on soccer mom’s for their revenue.
Sure, the soccer mom might buy their kid a pair of cleats and a ball, and maybe pick up an article of clothing for themselves, but beyond that what have they got to bring in the traffic? The answer of course is nothing.
Dick’s now primarily sells high margin clothes, which often can be found elsewhere for a better price. And, they sell the occasional tennis racket or something. Gone is all that traffic from sportsmen and the outdoor types who have committed themselves to avoiding Dick’s, not passively as in casually not showing up, I mean actively committed to avoiding your store.
Wow, that’s really a great retailing strategy. Honestly, I cannot believe a class action lawsuit has yet to be filed against the CEO and the Board for their gross mismanagement and the destruction of the company’s name and reputation.
