Never shopped at “Dick's”...and haven't had HBO since the 80s.

Dumped HBO a while back.
Stopped going to Dick’s a while back.
This affects me not at all.
Will effect Dick’s and HBO in a continuing way.

This SJW nonsense will be in case studies in (successful) Business Schools for decades.

I get everything from Dunham’s now.

I don't have a Dunham's near me, but I'd like to throw a plug in for Cabela's. I have always had a great experience either in-store, or online, with their stores.

Dick’s is telegraphing their virtue. Good for them.

They are also telegraphing their demise. Competitors are watching also.

“How do we put these people out of business?!”

Off hand, WE don’t. It is very likely the demographic and market data dsg has on hand says even with the loss of gun folk, they can stay profitable by both bending over to the market for cheap chinesium sporting “goods,” and kneeling in front of the antigun media. It is submission all around and completely driven by their market. WE are no longer their market.

If the dicks step in it with the under armor, yoga-mat, fishing rod, sleeping bag, golf club, ball-bat-raquet buying public (cheap chinesium grade), they will go down in the ignominy they so richly deserve.

It’s not about “gun control.” Guns don’t need controlling. The problem is individuals who think that it’s OK to use a gun to kill.

That’s because the left has promoted a culture of nothing is right and nothing is wrong.

Sad. Dicks used to be the place to go locally for a wide selection of firearms and supplies.

I won’t go there anymore.

How’s their stock doing? Why aren’t these CEO’s fired for driving the stock down? Has TARGET recovered?

Get Woke, Go Broke.

Nobody needs HBO or Dick’s anyway.

Let them serve as future case studies in Business schools on how to destroy a profitable company.

Wonder how the Game of Thrones would turn out for HBO, if only the White Walkers had weapons? Funny that they arm both sides in GOT but expect the law abiding to be disarmed in reality.

I don’t go there much.

A real conservative wouldn't go there at all.

If you really want to send a message, you would cancel HBO today.

Not sure why anybody goes to dicks anyway. I don’t think they have much in the way of inventory I couldn’t find at Acadamy sports.....and a lot cheaper!

I put this one on the manufacturers. All firearms makers should refuse to sell anything to Dicks and instruct their distrubutors to do the same. Pushing gun control is hostile to the entire industry. Don’t sell to them.
