Dick's now hates FUDDs too.

... Annual revenue is still about $10 Billion and the stock is up significantly from those bad old days. ... they have done well in the sports clothing & gear business where so many others failed. I think it was because of their sheer size and the fact that so many other companies failed in that business. They were sort of the last big, well-financed one left standing. ...
Investors are enthused about a company that:
  1. Is based at (mega) shopping malls.
  2. Sells team paraphernalia for SJW virtue-signaling spectator sports whose fans are staying away in droves.
  3. Sells participant sports equipment to secondary schoolers with mask mandates. (Does Dick's sponsor web portals to iOS/Android app sites for pale, sunken-eyed youts who only want to simulate playing soccer on their smartphones in the basement rumpus room?)

There still great for going in and trying on shoes. Then ordering from someone else.

We need to start a club.

(By analogy with me bringing my digital calipers
to measure the rail at Dick's,
I hope you use Dick's Brannock Device when shoe shopping there
).

I only use it as a mall entrance on the rare occasion I go to a mall.
Walk right through inbound & outbound, buying nothing from them.
They record the foot traffic with no sale conversion.
It's minor, but hey, it's my little protest.

A couple of years ago I walked in while I was killing time waiting for the wife while she was meandering around the crap store. Talked to a sales kid who tried to sell me a line of shit when I questioned why all firearms and related products were pulled from the shelves. He told me they dont sell in this part of the country. Rolled my eyes and walked out. I did almost buy the Marlin 336 way back before all their bullshit started but I wanted the C and they only could get the W
A sales kid is going to know absolutely nothing about the reasons for corporate decisions. It like the guy trying to sell me an MLM product at a match using the term "we" in describing the company - as if he was really a part of it because he was in someone's downline. Of someone thinking he has an "in" with Shell because he runs a gas station.

Had a conversation with an officer at a(unmentioned) gun club, hell of a nice guy but, then he said," I don't care if they do away with the 2nd amendment as long as thy grandfather you and me." That's what we're up against.
he's not a "hell of a nice guy" he is a first degree jerk off.

Jerk off was a very nice way of expressing just how much of a bone head he is. The site and self editing is a great way to avoid my trip on the NES Band Bus cause that’s what I would sitting on for 30.
In his grill wouldn’t have been nearly as polite.
