In the summer of 2016, I was in Dick’s and noticed they had about 20 or so large banners hanging from the ceiling depicting individual members of the US Olympic team. I quickly noticed a pattern among those individuals depicted on the banners, so I walked the entire store to confirm. Sure enough, not one White guy was depicted on any of the banners. All women and minorities. You would have thought the US team didn’t have any White guys. I left the store and have never set foot in Dick’s again.
Pretty amazing considering all the hardware Phelps brought home in 2016. I mean, he’s only the greatest swimmer of all time. Why would he have a banner? Not at all surprising from what we all know now about Dicks.
**All women and minorities.**
Must be the modern version of a “SOUL BROTHER” sign.
