From WSJ:
"Dick’s has struggled with declining sales since its CEO Ed Stack made a public decision to stop selling guns to buyers under 21 and take assault-style weapons out of all stores after a fatal school shooting in Parkland, Fla. Dick’s is also working to stem sluggish sales as more shoppers buy sporting goods online.

Since then sales at Dick’s have declined, despite a strong U.S. economy and consumer spending, Mr. Stack has blamed much of the decline on its stance on guns, saying some gun enthusiasts have stopped shopping at the chain."

Really, imagine that. Stockholders need to remove this guy from their shelves.

Personally, I haven't stepped foot in one since they changed their policy. Didn't go all that often before as they were usually overpriced, but that solidified it for me.

Overpriced, glad to see amazon put them out of business.

Shopped there maybe twice a year before their gun stance came out, since then I haven't been back inside one.

Never could bring myself to go because of the name. I don't want no part of it.

Not possible. I was told boycotts don’t work.

The effective degree of the boycott always depends on the convenience (or inconvenience) of those claiming to boycott.
