The CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods told investors in September that gun-purchasing restrictions the company imposed earlier this year have negatively affected its sales to a point where it may be forced to close its Field & Stream outlets.

In remarks made to the Goldman Sachs Retailing Conference and first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, CEO Edward Stack explained that the 3.9 percent decline in the company’s sales during the third quarter could be partially attributed to its ban on the sale of assault-style rifles and on the sale of all firearms to customers under 21 years old — both of which were implemented in the wake of the Parkland shooting in February.

In addition to the firearm-purchasing restrictions, Dick’s also hired a number of Washington, D.C. lobbyists in May to advocate for more-stringent gun-control regulations

Wise move, since we know how good Washington bureaucrats are at solving problems.

We had one open about a year ago in my town; never seems to have a lot of people in it. I'm hoping it's on the chopping block just so I can laugh.

So, in addition to revenue lost due to their gun ban, they’re spending additional revenue on lobbyists that aren’t going to accomplish dick.

Yeah sorry, not sorry. Suicidal business decisions have fatal consequences.

We have a new store in Milton, opened just before Christmas,

Never been in it and the parking lot has plenty of space for parking, that is mostly empty when I pass it,

Thank You Americans

That’s what happens when you pander to people who would never shop with you in the first place.

Boycotting takes years in some cases to show success, this is an example of one that took more time.

Collectively we can take down the msm, in less than a year if we simply turn off the msm permanently.
