Welcome to the new world of political correctness. I watched a debate where antigun dweeb kept saying "common sense gun laws". So if you don't believe like him then you have no common sense...crazy .
This comment made me just shake my head:
[FONT="]"Some of those customers that buy firearms [from Dick's] buy other things also," Stack said, and those people might stop shopping at Dick's altogether if they don't agree with the retailer's new policy. "We knew this was going to happen."
[/FONT]This shows how ignorant their CEO is. Yeah we buy "other things" at Dicks. Actually I don't buy much ammo or hunting items from Dicks because it's over priced. What I did (used to) buy was sporting goods equipment for my sons for baseball & football. That CEO just cost them my sporting goods $. Plus, I think Dick's stock was down 37% for the past 12 months PRIOR to their CEO making his anti-gun comments. Maybe he's trying to appeal to the anti-gun crowd since they are already hurting financially. Still a bad move by their CEO. What a clown.
You would think that college classes would teach these people to keep politics out of business? Then again it should be common knowledge.
I forgot to mention this when the news first broke-
My very cute, young neighbor girl (20s) had come over to visit and as we sat at the table, with a straight face she asked me a question -
"Do you know anything about dicks?"
It's rare that I'm speechless but this question really took me by surprise and everything entering my mind was not quite appropriate for her....kind of. This was just before I knew anything about Dick's not selling AR15s anymore but this IS why she was asking me. She knows I'm a gun guy.
I kept mouthing words but nothing was coming out. She had no clue why I was just sitting there looking at her with such a doapy face and then it hit her and she looked surprised and then slowly added the words - "Uh....Dicks Sporting Goods?"
Boy was I so relieved...... and in a strange way, super disappointed. For a second there I thought my heart was going to blow a gasket.
Just thought I'd share.
Edit- Should I send this to Penthouse?
