Just saw on the news that Dick's Sporting Goods is furloughing most of its 40,000 employees and they dont expect to open back up anytime soon. Too bad they got rid of their guns and hunting stuff, probably the only thing they might be selling right now.

Good riddance!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

My experience was that Dicks has lots of bad employees too, which is why I stopped going there before they even turned whacko liberal.

Between ditching modern sporting rifles and having to walk past 3 acres of Nike BS, I dont spent much at Dicks a d never will. To many Academys in TX and they treat us well there. I even found one the last time I worked in NC.

Companies tend to hire like minded people, so not much pity from me.

Same. I never gloat when folks lose a job.

I bought a 20 ga years ago as an impulse purchase. Still have it. Don't think I've been in a dicks in a few years though. Last time I was there it seemed more like a gold store.
