Shop at Bass Pro Shop instead — they have a huge traditional Christmas gig every year.

Well, apparently they don’t sell real guns, so I don’t really care.

The argrument seems a little weak.

What should you call your promotion that covers Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years?

Calling it Christmas seem disingenuous

Dick’s bought out Galyan’s about 6 years ago. Too bad, Galyan’s was a much, much better store especially wrt the shooting sports. I never was much of a fan of theirs, now even less so.

"And while Dick's may be "the 'most anti-Christmas' of all," only eight retailers remain on the “Companies Against Christmas” list, including Barnes & Noble, CVS, and RadioShack."

Wow, a lot of companies I happen to frequent...

Why is the American Family Associating waging a war against “Holy Days” (the origin of the term Holiday)?

I don’t know what the deal is here, but I should point out that there are genuine Christians who don’t celebrate Christmas because they don’t agree that it is Christian. There was a time in this nation, and in Protestant Europe when that was more the norm than exception. Not everyone who chooses to pass on Christmas is a member of the evil, devil, heathen faction, or a cultists, or a liberal airhead, and not everyone who chooses to celebrate Christmas is Christian, or even pretending to be one. ...But, since I wasn’t planning on buying anything from Dick’s Sporting Goods, my failure to boycott is meaningless. God bless all of you, and may you have a wonderful holiday season with the blessings of Christ in whatever you choose to celebrate or not celebrate.

They Love Our Milk And Honey,
But Preach About Some Other Way Of Living..."

If they are so against Christmas, they should show a little pride in their convictions and just shut the store down from Thanksgiving until New Year.

But I guess they DO beleive in those Christmas DOLLARS, huh? Hypocrites.

I have no use for Dick's anyway. Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse...now those are sporting goods stores. If they don't have something I need, there's always the Sports Authority website, or better yet, Play It Again Sports.

Merry Christmas to all, and Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends and cousins. To those who celebrate Kwanzaa, Solstice, Muslim Shave Your Goat/Wife Day or Wiccan Bark at the Moon Day, well, you're pathetic and who gives a crap about you?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

In a casual survey of our Mall on Staten Island of more than 200 stores my wife and I found only 3 stores that displayed the word Christmas on the windows facing the mall walkway:Sears,Hallmark and Build a Bear Workshop.

Oh, brother. What does shopping have to do with Christmas anyways?

Aren't there bigger fish to fry?

Regardless of what the holiday is called, the massive temples of the consumerism religion will be patronized by their followers 52 weeks out of the year.

The boycott of Dick’s SG is over-—the good guys won this one! Merry Christmas—not hollydaze.

Add ACE Hardware to the boycott list. They are celebrating “Holiday” rather than Christmas.
