If Dick’s was smart they would have said once they are done honoring their remaining contracts they will cease to sell certain types of ammo and firearms. It would still tick people off, but it would prevent any legal action being taken. Now their suppliers can sue for breech of contract, get incurred interest, other damages, and may still get to keep their ammo!

Who is going to buy anything from this nation-wide chain? They may be receiving under the table money to pull off this stunt as you called it.

Excellent. Breach of contract is breach of contract, purely business. Fraud. Fuch I’d even go RICO on it just to stress them out more.

A movie theatre just closed in our local mall and guess who is going to take over the space? Yep, Dick’s. Don’t know how well they might do as this is a fairly Conservative area and there is some stiff competition here for outdoors products. One thing I do know is that I won’t be buying anything from them.

Good, hope they win. Idiot kid running Dick’s is ruining his dad’s business.

Dick's took over a large square footage store that Sportsmanswarehouse abandoned. Sportsmanswarehouse relocated to a smaller store. Dick's parking lot is usually empty when I drive by. Sportsmansware, Walmart, Fred Meyer and local gun shops have plenty of ammo for sale. No need to bother with "Dicks".

There was some talk about Dick's taking over defunct Sports Authority stores, but never heard anymore about that.

Would not patronize my closed SA store if they did open it.

They are betting that the judge will just let then void the contract.

A safe bet. Today’s commie judges use every trick in the book... and every trick not in the book.

Yes, the were Big Dicks but they went soft and are becoming Little Dicks. They shot their load when they abrubtly stopped selling guns and now customers are leaving the stores all spent but with empty sacks. They managed to replace the old Maytag Repairman with Dick’s Sales Associate as the worlds loneliest profession.

I haven’t set foot in the place since their new policy.

And you know what? Their stuff is sh*t anyway. I used to buy my T-shirts there, plain black or white shirts by Russell that were made well and lasted a few months.

Now, all they have is shirts where you pay to advertise some brand which is promoting globohomo, made in Bangladesh by child slaves and marked up 1000%.

Screw ‘em. Hope they fail soon.

Maybe Dick’s can lure us into their stores with Kaepernick ads for Nike shoes.
