Dick's Sporting Goods pulling hunting gear from 440 more locations

Dick’s Sporting Goods has announced plans to remove the hunting departments from “approximately” 440 additional locations, following a similar — albeit much smaller — effort last year.

In a press release issued Tuesday along with the company’s fourth-quarter earnings report, Dick’s confirmed that it would be removing the hunting departments sometime “in fiscal 2020,” though there was no specific time frame announced.

Store sucks anyway
 
Nah, I'm a big fan of dicks. Every purchase I've ever made with them, they have lost money. They print $20 off $50 coupons like Candy and they sell odd hunting products at low margins. I always drop in during clearance season and then use the coupons resulting in 20% to 50% losses for them on every sale I do make.
 
Dicks can do whatever they want and I couldn't care less. Though now I just don't know where I will be buying my jock straps with attached suspenders.

:A Banana:
 
Just a personal opinion, I find boycotts to be somewhat childish and unsuccessful, usually performed by the left SJWs.

When I see something I don't like, like NFL football's nonsense regarding taking a knee, I go the other direction. I become parasitic. I watch all the NFL content, leeching value from them for the "free content" while I do not purchase NFL tickets and I do not purchase products advertised on NFL games. Thus, I TAKE from them while delivering no value in return.

I do the same with overpriced Cable/Internet providers. They price gouge, so I take all the $500 kick-backs to switch providers, then switch back immediately when the initial contract discounts expire.

With Dick's, I only show up with coupons and purchase things that they take a loss on. For larger purchases at above their cost, I use Internet alternatives.

I do the same with Bass Pro / Cabelas. They have lousy products. They don't have a forever guarantee on their private label merchandise anymore. (and its not the best, its Chinese garbage now), etc.

Instead of boycotting what you don't like, which never evokes a response from a company, why not actively leech from the company instead? It's far more punitive, and you're not biting off your nose to spite your own face?

The inverse to this approach is also a moral imperative too. If a company is providing amazing service, specialized products, or amazing price, you have to be as passionate about spending money with them as you of boycotting alternatives or they will fail. There are a handful of really cool businesses out there and they need our unwavering, obsessive support too.
