That's not the point. The point is that Dick's, a place that generates some of their revenue from gun/ammo sales, has absolutely no fear of speaking out against the gun community. They have no fear of retribution from us; none whatsoever. By not making them pay a price for their actions, we became paper tigers. It's our own fault, really, even here, on this forum, everytime there was some pushback against Dick's, it was met with "but a deal is deal, and I don't care" So here we are. We need to start "punching twice as hard" to paraphrase a notable constitutional scholar. /rant. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted March 23, 2018 Dick's lost market direction long ago. They will join the likes of Sports Authority soon enough. Look at their financials. Now without us, just happens faster. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,661 Posted August 29, 2018 Necropost alert bit it is relevant - (cold link below, replace DOT with .) https://wwwDOTreuters.com/article/us-dicks-sporting-results/gun-policy-under-armour-weakness-hit-dicks-sporting-sales-idUSKCN1LE1CQ Gun policy, Under Armour weakness hit Dick's Sporting sales (Reuters) - Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS.N) reported a bigger-than-expected drop in quarterly same-store sales on Wednesday and forecast further declines this year, hit by tighter gun controls and a drop in Under Armour sales. Shares in the company fell as much as 10 percent after it posted a 1.9 percent drop in same-store sales, bigger than analysts’ average estimate of a 0.62 percent dip. Dick’s was one of the first retailers to stop selling assault rifles and high-capacity magazines as well as bar the sale of guns to people under age 21 following a massacre at a Florida high school in February. The company had predicted that its hunting guns business would be pressurized by the change in policy but said the move should also attract more people to its stores. Dick’s said on Wednesday it expected annual same-store sales to decline by 3 percent to 4 percent, compared with a 0.3 percent decline in 2017. Chief Executive Officer Edward Stack said Under Armour sales fell as a result of the sports apparel maker’s decision to expand distribution to a broader range of stores. Shares in Under Armour Inc (UAA.N), for whom Dick’s 700 stores have played a major role in efforts to challenge Adidas (ADSGn.DE) and Nike (NKE.N), fell 6 percent to $19.66. “We had expected comp weakness in hunting and electronics, as well as continued pressure in Under Armour and less benefit from store maturation, but these trends caused more pressure than anticipated,” Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman said.

It raised its earnings per share forecast for the year ending February 2019 to between $3.02 and $3.20 versus an earlier forecast of $2.92 to $3.12. “The improvement in the U.S. athletic market should overcome the weakness in hunting, electronics, and Under Armour as we get into 2019,” Feldman added. The company’s net income rose 6 percent to $119.40 million, or $1.20 per share. Analysts had estimated $1.06 per share. Net sales inched up nearly 1 percent to $2.18 billion, below the average Wall Street estimate of $2.24 billion. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupid should hurt! Not thinking that gun owners buy more than just rifles, ammo and targets, and not realizing gun owners are the ACTIVE ones in society, not the fat Liberals sitting at home in mom's basement. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
