GuardBum 73 Posted May 31, 2018 I love walking through 's as I love sports and outdoors. Get to see some of the new styles in person. Then I generally walk out empty handed and go buy somewhere else that's cheaper. They are ridiculously overpriced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I generally walk out empty handed and go buy somewhere else that's cheaper. They are ridiculously overpriced. Same good time wasting store. When I would get dragged to the mall I would just go walk around DICKS. Hit a few golf balls with clubs I was interested in. Look at the outdoor stuff. I did buy a canoe there once. It was actually a really good marked down price heading into the fall months, so I bought it. Sometimes I get gift cards to there. About the only time I ever get anything there as online has killed them for prices especially in golf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,379 Posted May 31, 2018 Trump's nailing it so well he's even making liberal D1ck's rise. I guess so. The comments above make a good point. the serious outdoorsman had already moved on to other stores. I saw a bunch of my liberal friends post bags from d1cks shortly after the announcement. I would like to see there next earnings announcement though. That will tell if the liberal yuppies continue to shop there or already collected their virtue signal points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get new friends Get rid of facebook since it is for teenaged girls or hacks with an opinion on everything I just dont understand how politics drives so many of you. I have friends that are much more poltical than I am. Right and left. But they dont fo this sort of stuff. It may be a middle aged and crazy sort of thing. Hardly anyone argued, protested, boycotted, ranted, got offended, got upset, sat for hours trying to convince people through political insults....say 5-10 years ago. Mot sure what happened last handful of years. People have went mad. Just glad it isnt much in my day to day life. Hacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I left FB I did start to see old people act really weird as they had no idea what it was. And I saw political slap fights and posts jump up out of no where. I basically coincided with facebook in age. When I graduated it was new and based on keeping connected with friends and family that you move away to college from. So I got it and used it for those reasons. Last I was there it was getting really weird. Cant imagine now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last I was there it was getting really weird. Cant imagine now. Im getting old enough where I honestly dont really care what my old friends from high school and college are up to anymore. I mean there are one or two Ive stayed connected with, but for the most part, dont care. I use Facebook for two things. One, since I live very far from home, its an easy way to see pictures of whats going on. The neices and nephews, the pool parties, cookouts, etc. and secondly, it is very useful as a tool living here. There are groups for expats city by city. Parties and events appear there, and if I am looking for a hard to find thing, they can usually tell me where to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That will tell if the liberal yuppies continue to shop there or already collected their virtue signal points Spoiler alert, they didn't... Edward Stack, chairman and CEO of 's, said during the event that the sporting goods chain's recent 3.9 percent drop in same-store sales was the result of a mix of factors beyond their control as well as some he called "self-imposed." Specifically, he said, "the decisions we made on firearms" negatively affected their bottom line but the drop in sales was something they expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,379 Posted December 11, 2018 DIcks owns field and stream as their hunting and fishing stores. Dicks sporting goods is not marketed to hunters and fishermen They might have to close field and stream... probably making too much money. "My sense is that we can either take a look at closing that store, that concept or reconceptualizing it into a more of an outdoor type concept, and we're taking a look at all of these things and by the end of—the peak of the hunting season is coming up in—and basically, the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarter and as we move into the end of the fourth quarter, we'll make a decision as to what we're going to do," Stack said.

JohnD. 22 Posted December 12, 2018 This place is usually lined up down the street on Black Friday. This year there was about 15 people waiting for them to open when we showed up. We walked in got what we wanted and checked out with no wait. I have been in years past and waited in line at the gun/ammo counter for hours and then stood in line at the checkout for another hour.
