Yeti coolers. They're big on Yeti.
There's some guys here who said they'd buy Yeti just to spite the NRA, so they could buy Yeti from Dick's and be like spiting them twice LOL. That'll show 'em (NRA)!

I don't wish bad things for those employed there but I would love to see them go down in flames (not literally in case someone torches the place) and Dicks too..Stopped in F&S yesterday while killing some time - was the only business open, besides Dollar Tree, within walking distance of where I was.
Meandering through, I got, eventually, back to the gun section.
Heard the guy behind the gun counter talking to a customer about how they used to carry ARs, furniture and accessories for them, but no longer.
How they used to sell about 25-30 guns every day, now they are lucky to get 10.
He said they were a lot slower around there than before, and he knows it's purely based on their own actions.

I have a connection with someone in senior management at the Dick's in Fayetteville, NC. They have been losing money since Academy opened, and after this, he's thinking they may not make it through Christmas.

Missed Wall Street expectations and revised 2017 outlookIt looks like it's been mostly flat for the last nine months.
What happened on 15Aug 2017? Seems they never truly recovered from that.

Ok, got to ask - what's a good deal on a spear?I haven't darkened the door of Dicks since Academy opened down the road from them. I actually bought a spear from Academy last night, WTF do I need a spear you ask? No idea but it was a good deal.

When I hear businessmen speak eloquently about the "social responsibilities of business in a free-enterprise system," I am reminded of the wonderful line about the Frenchman who discovered at the age of 70 that he had been speaking prose all his life. The businessmen believe that they are defending free enč² erprise when they declaim that business is not concerned "merely" with profit but also with promoting desirable "social" ends; that business has a "social conscience" and takes seriously its responsibilities for providing emčØloyment, eliminating discrimination, avoidč¹ng pollution and whatever else may be the catchwords of the contemporary crop of rečÆormers. In fact they areāor would be if they or anyone else took them seriouslyāpreachč¹ng pure and unadulterated socialism. Busič¦essmen who talk this way are unwitting pupčØets of the intellectual forces that have been undermining the basis of a free society these past decades.

Are you like a spy or something?
I figured he was just sending a coded message to @fishgutzy .......
I dumped what I had in DKS back in 2013
I am not an expert by any stretch but something is funky with Dick's reporting. CFO's always have tricks up their sleeves for one quarter reporting or two but that is not sustainable on a full year.
Same-store sales fell 2.5% on a 13-week comparable basis. The FactSet consensus was for a 1.5% decline.
