Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Just read an article where DICK's Sporting Goods has reportedly lost 150 MILLION bucks since their Assault Rifle ban decision. OOPS! ..........Widder
Dantankerous Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 This makes me go Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Serves them Right ... "Levi" Jeans lost 99% of their market up here when they went Anti Gun ... Wrangler was then able to increase their support for Cowboys and Hunters , due to their increased market share .... Jabez Cowboy
Chili Ron Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Howdy, After I donated to em, just this week? When I went by, I gave em the finger..... Best CRRRRR
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 And just think..... WE THE PEOPLE didn't even have to organize a boycott of their business or march around their stores to cause their decline. ..........Widder

I buy Wranglers now but have to have them tailored. Why is Mickey D's still top of the hamburger chain pyramid after what old Lady Cronck (SP?) did after the San Isedro shooting?

Wiki says the store was torn down, that Micky D's donated a million dollars to survivor benifits, and Mrs. Croc, personally, put in another 100K. What else happened?
Chili Ron Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Howdy, I don't see donations to survivors as being anti anything. A tragedy is a tragedy. She make a statement of some kind? I am too busy to keep track. Best CR
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Take a look at how much she contributed to anti-gun causes over the next several years. I haven't been in one of their stores in over 30 years because of her stance against my rights. Other folks sell hamburgers, too, and many are a sight better than anything they sell. This is my last comment on this subject because I'd prefer to NOT get kicked off the site.
Attica Jack #23953 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Last employee out of Dicks after they go bankrupt......please turn out the lights.
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 But how will this effect the availability of overpriced golf clubs and oversized yoga pants?
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 But Dicks CEO is okay with it because it makes him feel good! https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/03/31/dicks-ceo-okay-companys-150-million-loss-gun-control-stance/
Hoss Carpenter Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I bought a Gun Safe from Dicks in 09 in Chattanooga. My first and last purchase there. I love what is happening to them! Cheers Hoss C.
Whistlin' Blue Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Here's a link to an article that I think provides some interesting perspective: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-29/dick-s-dks-ceo-ed-stack-says-gun-shift-cut-sales-by-150m "Dick’s estimates the policy change cost the company about $150 million in lost sales, an amount equivalent to 1.7 percent of annual revenue. Stack says it was worth it.'The system does not work,' Stack said. 'It’s important that when you know there’s something that’s not working, and it’s to the detriment of the public, you have to stand up.'"
Eyesa Horg Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Saw that in our local paper as well. I don't think 1.7% is going to make much difference to them. But that's assuming the number is correct.

If the 'perception' of the CEO is wrong about one thing, then its highly possible that its questionable about his other 'perceptions'. 1.7% of a short time period grows in 'multiples' over the next few years. It won't stay constant. I buy tennis shoes about every couple years. And, I use to buy them at Dicks because of their selection of what I wanted. No more shoes from Dicks for me. No more jogging outfits for my wife or her tennis shoes. No more shotgun shells, etc..... And no more gun cleaning supplies. These things add up over the years. A $1 loss from me this year will be a $10 from me next year. Then those tennis shoes ($100) will be their loss on the 3rd year. Of course, at some point, my yearly $1 expense will roll around..... but so will the $10 and $100 year. ..........Widder
