The sporting-goods chain is working with three lobbyists from the Glover Park Group to take on the topic, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing a disclosure form filed late last month.

The “blue wave” is the wave of liberal stupidity against the Constitution.

Maybe Dick’s can sell enough soccer balls to survive, LOL.

I bought a lot of exercise equipment and a couple of kayaks from them, back before all of this. I’m done.

Dicks Sporting Goods is on the fast-track to nothing.

If I had DSG stock, I’m selling now.
