Dick’s has always featured overpriced goods available for less at competing stores.
They literally shot themselves in the foot...

>>There’s going to be some pushback and we expected that

It’s not pushback. We genuinely don’t need your company to exist anymore.

“There’s going to be some pushback and we expected that,” said CEO Edward Stack, in an earnings call with Wall Street analysts, according to CNN. “There are going to be the people who don’t shop us anymore for anything.”

Okay. That's the downside. And what, exactly, is the Upside??

Sounds like an admission they knew the decision would hurt shareholder value. Where are the lawyers with a shareholder derivative lawsuit?!

Maybe CNN’s Parkland School “Survivor” Kiddies will go there and buy a $3000.00 “kayak or a $120.00 water bottle. With all the money they’ve received since the school shooting, they should be able to shop at Dicks (sic) now.

I make it a point not to do business with firms that flaunt or act on their left-wing proclivities, which tends to show that their management isn’t all that bright.

See Dick sell goods. See Dick get political. See Dick sales plummet. Don’t be a Dick.

Why on earth would a business WANT to cause a downward spiral of sales? A business does EVERYTHING to INCREASE sales! Goes to prove that liberalism is a disease or at the very least insanity.

It was late in the quarter when they re-jumped on the gun control wagon. Let’s see what this new quarter brings them. Probably more than just a 7% drop.

Yes, Dick's has lost customers and business.

But this CEO Stack should also lose his job over this.

His job is not to dive into some liberal gun control controversy and side with the gun-grabbers.

His duty as the chief executive is to maximize profits for the shareholders, which he's clearly not done in this case.

Academy Sports is building a huge store here in Columbus, GA, just down the road from Dicks, I believe Dicks will be going bye, bye real soon...

Dick’s Sporting Goods has suffered a surprisingly steep downturn in sales since promising to sell fewer guns....

...
Surprisingly? I don’t think so....
