They say it's because of gun control. Ben don't moderate me just fix the post to be correct so people can get the information.

No loss, let them go out of business. They deserve it.

Actions have consequences. Demonizing your customer base seems idiotic, however when decision are based solely on "emotions" and not facts and the "real reasons" for gun violence (someone decides to shoot-up a school with an AR) needs to take another look at findings surrounding Parkland HS recently.

Authored suggested he was not a proponent of "boycotts." I don't boycott either, I just choose not to become a Dick's customer. Maybe that's a boycott, or maybe not. I doubt know.

Good. Sucks for the bottom of their employee pyramid but there are plenty of jobs out there.

I am calling bullshit on them saying they would do it all the same way if given another chance though. Liars.

You really have to screw up to fail in this economy.

I’ve never bought anything at Dick’s


Their prices are ridiculously high. They think they can survive by selling work out gear that can be bought for much less online or from Academy

Never been in a Dick and will not. They certainly are named correctly.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group of Dicks. Now the Dick's riders(Stock holders) will probably jump off since they have had enough with Dicks poor performance

I’ve never been inside one of these stores. I’d bet they would have had issues anyway. Nice to have an excuse I guess.

But, they're going to reconcep-u-late......while admitting they support leftist gun control...but, say no, nope, nuh-uh, it 'won't' hurt profit...yeah, sure.....piss off the few who were still willing to buy at their overpriced stores, now won't shop there with a few exceptions, but heck NO it won't hurt sales thus profit...they'll reconcep-u-late until they go completely outta bidness.

I have shopped at Dick's a few times. It is weird when you get into the gun area and the wall racks are bare.
Most of what they sold was expensive and their gun staff didn't have much knowledge. Similar to the Academy Sports stores.
If they do close, I feel for the staff that will be losing their jobs. Dick's closing is no big deal to me.

Huh?

Just FYI - Nothing to fix. Nothing to moderate. Nothing wrong with your post.

More like self-inflicted wound.

I see Dicks just like Gander Mtn or Bass Pro...over priced. I can get the same brands at Academy for less.
Gander Mtns marketing always confused me. Let's set up shop acrossfrom the Texas store... Academy & charge 30% more.

Part of MakingAmericaGreatAgain is having businesses find out that actions have consequences. And virtue-signalling is almost always a silly choice of actions.

Only thing that place had that was rather unique in this area was a better than average selection of paddling equipment. That was over priced also.
Won't miss them.
