If you are losing business to your competition because you made a bad decision do you:

a) Reconsider your decision and reverse course,
or
b) Lobby Congress to FORCE your competition to make the same bad decision?

I think we know the answer.

DKS stock is only down about 50% over the last year.

... while most other stocks in all sectors are up 50% or more in the same time period. That's a plunge into the abyss.

Really?

You couldn't type or copy and paste the word "Dicks"?

Not if they’re getting something in exchange. If so, I’d like to know what it is.

The way to fight back, at this point, is with our pocket books and our votes.

Let them support their new "business model" with libs.

What this tells me is that Dick’s completely understands that their long-term ability to continue as an ongoing concern is now in serious jeopardy, and they are endeavoring to save themselves. They know.

We don’t have sportsman warehouse here....yet. Crossing my fingers!

Dicks moved into the closed sports authority storefront in my area. I do not see much traffic EVER and am actively wishing for their quick demise.

Businesses picking political sides ALWAYS lose.

These morons are going to virtue-signal themselves right out of business.

Nothing says success quite like deliberately telling your customer base to go F itself. One heck of a business model.

I hate to break it to them, but all outdoorsy lefties shop at Patagonia, so all the little David Hoggs of the world won't be showing up for fishing rods and propane stoves anytime soon.

Haha no, I just see the writing on the wall. So many businesses closing left and right, and they pull this stunt. Brilliant! ;)

I went in one of those places a long time ago. It looked queer. The employees behaved queerly. Even the name is queer.

I have an account with them and purchased a lot from them in the past as they have a store close to my house... NO MORE PURCHASES FROM THEM

Read carefully at your link. Dick’s is NOT owned by Gander Mountain or Camping World.
