You're missing the point. He used shareholder wealth to signal how virtuous he is and that's what matters.
Ed Stack and his board do not care
Like Hollywood moguls willing to make losing political films to make a point
It doesn’t work like that. Guy goes in for a rifle, he might buy a jacket, boots, fishing pole, camping equipment. Then in off season he buys weights, running shoes etc.
Only now, he don’t go there for his rifle. He thinks Dicks dislikes him. He never buys all that other stuff. It’s like that.
Because they are dicks...?
I don’t get it. Can you explain what is supposed to be funny about Ellen Degeneres suddenly liking Dicks. She is liberal, right? She would of course like it.
She likes girls.
#4. That’s why they renamed themselves “Hurts”.
leave it to a woman CEO to really screw things up
Well said!
I guess she really don’t know DICK about sporting goods and fire arms.
Get yourself a Remington 870 shotgun and 300 rounds of buckshot and 100 rounds of rifled slugs. Just put them away in a safe place. One day you might be very glad you did.
They lived up to their name DICK
DKS views shooters and hunters as one-dimensional people. While not a soccer mom, I was a lacrosse dad a basketball dad and a soccer dad (Mrs. NY is not athletically inclined) I also play golf.
So, besides losing my hunting and shooting business, DKS has lost my golf and athletic wear business.
I get that - I wouldn’t shop at a Dick’s either - it’s just that $150,000,000 million in sales with $7,300,000,000 last year, it is only down 2%. I have know idea what their profit margin is - but say 20%? So profits are down 0.4%???
Or - they may have jacked up their other prices to cover it?
In finding the information on Dicks it had the CEO talking and it was easier to hear than read. Something like “Thoughts and prayers really don’t do anything. So we decided to do something.”
So silly - as though them taking some of their weapons off the shelf is really going to accomplish anything with regards to folks going out and committing a crime.
All sporting is psych connected and most pencil necks just don’t envision that being possible. They are educated to compartmentalize things and they are not all intertwined.
It apparently does! We quit buying from you for your stance on the 2nd Amendment! Yep! Works quite well!
Get woke, go broke.
Problem is close to what you have written. There are more facts to be discovered about mental illness and successful treatment and reversal is still a ways off. But to endanger society cuz we’re too lazy or busy or cheap or ignorant or unconcerned to solve the moral,legal,theological,medical, and philosophical problems associated is not a good strategy. We are reaping the effects of our (in)actions. Justified or not.
