Still more to do....they aren't bankrupt yet!

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

Fuck 'em.

Now Dicks is stating that they will get rid of all hunting gear and apparel from several of their stores.

They just don’t learn

 

[Slash0311]

Lost $150m but still only 1.7% of revenue...

Its a start so lets keep beating Dicks!!!

Uh, yes?!

Moist toilet, table 3 please.

Yes, please continue cutting your jugular. We approve and are willing to sharpen utensils as needed. Carry on with your self imposed trainwreck.

 

[Huskydriver]

1.7% of rev is hardly sticking it too them. Their stock price is up

 

[4X4Dad]

Many ways to manipulate a stock price . My employer does it a couple times a year .

"Towlette", perhaps ? (Or, maybe you did mean Moist "toilet".......)

 

[Threadcutter308]

I haven't been in one of their stores in about ten years. Last time I was in one, it reminded me of hospital food. Bland and like cardboard.

 

[Rthur]

Damned proud of "DICKS" for standing by their "virtue".
Was a generic store at the best of times.
I guess they could sell pussyhats and rubber dog shit in the "sportsman's" section.
Fuckem and feed em fish.
Maybe this hole in the market will bring about a competitor that will market
real outdoor gear and guns.

[Veer_G]

They need a spokesman for their watersports supplies. Maybe a "Limu Emu and Doug" approach?

I got just the pair: Marky and Maser.

Their store sucked before the removed the 1st gun or bullet. Academy sports crushes them. We have a Dicks and an Academy that are about 200 yards apart from each other. When academy opened, you would almost never see a car in Dicks parking lot. I dont know how the store here is still open.

 

[Alderleet]

I cant ever recall actually going into dicks for anything. They have overpriced shit, and mostly golf stuff and cross country.
Not a golfer in the slightest, so i never ventured into their stores.

If it means they keep losing revenue, and eventually leave a hole to be filled by cabelas/basspro or academy, I’m all for it.

Damn shame about gander mountain though.

 

[Veer_G]

All I remember about them were deceptive sales practices on ammo and a laughable selection of firearms. Oh, yeah, and loads of rainbow-colored polar fleece shit on their racks.

 

[StealthOwl]

Looks like their sales really went limp. Demand just shriveled up due to their dumb decisions. The quarterly forecast looks soft.

You know the SEC has a program where if your rat them out you get a big share of the fine they pay. https://www.wsj.com/articles/sec-grants-50-million-award-to-two-whistleblowers-11553633544

Did they not have your favorite, or was it just too hard to find the sparkle ones amongst the rainbow ones?

What did they serve? Sausage?

 

[Blue Sky Country]

GOOD. Now we continue turning up the heat until they go bankrupt. Actually, correction: WE are not driving them into bankruptcy, they are doing it to themselves.

 

[Veer_G]

Well, honestly, we were getting you a gift and couldn't find anything that went with your collection of ball gags.

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

I'm hard to shop for, I know it. I guess I just figured it was some sparkle vs rainbows thing between you and Maser.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

Now Dicks is stating that they will get rid of all hunting gear and apparel from several of their stores.

They just don’t learn

I think they should just start selling propane and propane accessories...

Seriously, I wonder if some of their executives are getting tired yet of the slow pace that they are neutering themselves and being laughing stocks.

They should go full libtard, lickety-split, or go home. This drawn out bullshit is just pathetic. Like a chick being a cock tease while the guy just wants to cum and get it over with, wash up and go grab a beer.

 

[Grease]

Fuck-em... right along with Starbucks, Nike, Target, and Costco. The anti 2nd list goes on and on. I'm not giving them any of my money.

 

[Deleted member 10043]

I thought it was a gay clothing store. I also thought The Gap was for lesbians.

 

[Maser]

Ah fuck them! It's clear that for awhile they been catering more to soccer mom bullshit than to guns and hunting. Besides it's more fun being a dick than shopping at one.

Honestly, the VERY FIRST time I've ever heard of Dick's, I laughed my ass off for quite a bit. Yeah I was pretty immature at that time. Sorry but I just cannot take a place with a name like "Dick's" seriously.

Usually, establishments with gruff, testosterone sounding names with a sexual hint, like "Dicks", "Meats", "Slammer", etc, are either gay bars, gyms that also cater to male on male hookups, or flat out gay porn vendors.

 

[SilentStalkr]

I find it hard to believe they do almost $10B in revenue per year.

 

[Strykervet]

Fuck them, when I boycott a business it's usually for life. It's not like they ever learn or care.

 

[Dunraven]

They never got any of my money. Never will. BTW our Gander Mountain came back as Gander Outdoors, which IMO is better than ever. Even stocks some reloading supplies again.

 

[buffalowinter]

Here are the facts. Stock has been steady the last year. It is even paying a dividend. However, it is down $30 a share...approximately half its price, from 2017. Green Beret, MBA.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

Here is the ONE place where these idiots fucked up:

Virtue signaling only works when you have a majority consumer base that will agree with your new presentation and public display. Not only will you still keep your original consumer base but they will now be even more loyal and spend more money on your products. As well as attracting new consumers who also agree with the line of thinking.

When your consumer base is over 80% outdoor sports, firearms, hunting, and shooting enthusiasts, where the fuck did you Einsteins get the brilliant idea to virtue signal a bunch of pansy-ass hoplophobic whiny soyboy shit???

Unfortunately not all of this firearms oriented consumer base has flipped them the bird and went away. Even though they do sell team sports shit and jerseys and what not, those sales alone coming from a bunch of suburban soccer moms shouldn't be enough for them to keep making the cut. Every hiker, camper and fisherman should also follow our example and tell them to GTFO.
