Like making a movie about the space race and leaving out the flag. Who’s going to watch that? Antifa? No.
Total dumbass move!!
>>Offending customers is a risky business.<<
As Nike is about to learn.
Listen up Nike.
53rd ???? IIRC it's 52 weeks.
If there was only one single sport merchandise outlet in your local town....they’d have the power to play this game. They felt they’d hold some market share after the change, and they guessed wrong.
I think what will happen in three to four years....is that someone will come up and buy Dicks (maybe Wal-Mart)...at a discounted sales price, and it’ll be renamed, and dumping this strategy of theirs.
Next up, Nike. I find Nike to be the most abhorrent of them all. A spokesman that has made it clear he hates America, the Police, the military etc?! How does this sell shoes in America?
Yeah....but they're OK with the idea of our young men taking up arms and giving their lives to protect their old, crusty, sorry ass liberal butts from the muslims... :(
It’s only risky if their institutional investors give a damn.
Wonder how sales of Nikes at Dicks is doing....?
Problem is people realize the can live without what you are “selling” whether it’s Dick’s, Nike, Dixie Chics or Fox News.
The old saying, never get to big for your own britches, applies.
As in Oregon they should now face age discrimination lawsuits and federal civil rights investigation for it, costing their dear stockholders millions.
Pissing on the shoes of a large segment of your customer base to satisfy people who haven’t ever been in your store is stupid. Ergo, the company’s management is stupid. So, Mr. and Mrs. Stockholder, what are you going to do about it?
Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Target
Nike
These names are becoming verbs for describing lefty looniness.
Good article.
I drive by the local Dick’s Sporting Goods store, in a large mall, and the parking lot in front is almost always empty. Even on the usually busy weekends. People have gone elsewhere.
WSJ had an article in which the Dicks blamed President Trump for their sales drop, in that gun owners rushed to buy when Obama/Holder/Lyncher were in charge, then calmed down when the new fellow arrived.
Will be interesting to see how Nike’s coming sales airball will be linked to Trump too. Of course Nike can always count on a certain high percentage of their wares flooding the streets owing simply to BLM five-finger discount.
To paraphrase Michael Jordan: Democrats and Republicans both buy shoes. Why would I want to tick off half of my potential customers?
Hunting seasons are beginning to open across the country, and Dick’s sales are going to drop more. Hunters will go elsewhere to purchase their hunting ammo and other hunting needs. I will only go where I can purchase all of my hunting needs including the guns of my choice.
Now that Nike has crapped in their lunch bucket, the brand choices for their type goods just got reduced by one. Dick’s won’t know it because people like me won’t be going to Dick’s for anything anyway.
.
Again, Dick’s has dicked themselves!
(It’s beyond their Chi-Com level of understanding.)
