They will just become another store like Big 5.
I stopped shopping there years ago when they decided to play politics

Never been in one and never will after all the BS the company has been putting out.
Since their decision to withhold sales of firearms to select law abiding citizens, I stopped all involvement with their outfit.
Well, I take that back... I shorted their stock for their recent end of day, pre earnings release - drop. Sold just before closing bell and enjoyed some $.

I heard that they also own Field & Stream stores, they sell guns and ammo and hunting gear. I've never seen one myself.

Never did much shopping there to begin with other than some fishing gear now and then. If they don’t want sell hunting gear or firearms, fine. I’ll still swing by once in awhile and get some fishing stuff. It’s interesting how many people have no issue with “private businesses can run their business how they want” until they decide to run it in a way that conflicts with they individuls personal views.

a company can sell or not sell what they choose. It’s their business. Let’s remember cake makers in Oregon. It’s when people or business make a knee jerk decision out of non factual decisions is when I have a problem.
I spend literally thousands a year between hunting and sporting goods ( I am a HS coach also). I am glad Dicks can make it without my money. I quit going in when stopped Selling AR’s. Dicks can stand for whatever they choose. So will I. They just make it easy by being another company that helps me remove the grey out of my life.

Bingo...selective "outrage".
I don't recall ever buying anything in a Dicks sporting good store...mainly because the selection in all their stores was the same-old, same-old stuff. I think I did purchase a 2-burner camp chef there, had a great deal. Their firearms selections wasn't much, if any, better than Walmart. IMO, their fishing and hunting selection was kind of an after-thought from what I could see.
I wont boycott them if they have a good price on something I'm looking for.
As far as firearms, I have bought exactly one firearm from a brick and morter in the last 40 years...
Interesting as some here are board members of organizations that encourage their members to support companies that support their members.
Case in point: Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.
Even, Fresh Tracks - Randy Newberg holds corporate sponsors, as should be self evident:
Leupold, Mystery Ranch, Orion, Nosler Ammunition, Howa, Gerber... There is a reason.

To support companies or not for whatever reason is each person's choice. Some don't give an F either way while others seek to support companies by purchase of their apparel and products because that company supports their values.
Cheers to those who choose to place their $ into the coffers of companies that support your interests.... Just as much, cheers to those who don't give a F.

What's the best sporting goods store to hate.......
Add yet another to the popular category "what's the best fill-in-the-blank".
JLS already gave the definitive answer as to where to get the best deal on chew. Thanks for the good advice.

Since Patagonia has come up, I just read an article about the Hunter Mentorship program at the U of M. Part of the money to purchase tags for the participants came from BHA. Some of that money was from a grant from Patagonia. Found it interesting. mtmuley
