The GF drug me into a Dick’s before Christmas. Ammo was wiped out. Lines to registers were 1/2 way around the store.

Soccer moms and pop culture were wiping out the clothing and sport gear.

Dick’s had a very good Christmas.

Soccer moms (along with soccer dads) and pop culture are much of why my last shopping trip to Dick's was my last shopping trip to Dick's. I haven't stepped foot in the place for over a year, and am probably a smidgen less cynical about my quondam "fellow Americans" because of it. Organized team sports and athletic event voyeurism is truly the current opiate of the masses.

If I were to wake up some morning with an uncontrollable craving to buy cartoonish, overpriced and underbuilt NCAA/NFL/NBA-licensed merchandise (made by Chinese teenagers) from a retailer who looks down on handgun buyers and thinks that AR-15s are assault rifles... well, there's always Dick's.
