Dick's
- Thread starter Bbear
- Start date
From what I have read their stock is down 36% , so the best way is to simply not spend money at their business and the share holders will pull out... People may say things and be all high and mighty but when you start getting in their pockets it's amazing how fast their ideas and morals change....

Since I had already decided to boycott them for the remainder of my life, this is really immaterial. Yes, they're Dick's.
I see this as a way to hurt their main competitors, places like Cabelas and Bass Pro. No one goes to Dicks to buy guns. I havn't stepped foot in one for several years.. not since the first time they pulled ARs. Maybe they are thinking if they can get legislation that limits what the other guys sell they'll get some customers back. Regardless.. F... them.
Companies are companies , just because they sell over priced coolers doesn't meen you have to buy them , to me and it's just my opinion , the other companies are not against the 2A so I will continue to go to Cabela's etc till they are... There so many idiots jumping on the anti 2A bandwagon there's probably a ton of stuff from companies that are pulling the same thing as yeti being sold in the stores that we don't even know about...
To me some things I would never buy in the first place , a $400 to $2000 cooler to keep $5 in ice cold and you can't leave in the back of your truck without some dbag stealing it... No thanks , I will stick with my $40 cooler nobody wants , there all made in China or the Philippines anyway... Now I'm not rich but I will just spend another 79 cents for a bag of ice if I need one... The Ozarks Trail cups at Walmart keep my drinks cold just fine for $9 bucks.. once again just my opinion , but if you need a $40 koozie to keep your beer cold , your doing it wrong anyway..lol
I am not saying you shouldn't feel different , that's just how I feel about all this mess....

To each his own I guess, but if you are pro NRA and 2a why would you support those that are not? To me that would be considered a double standard. That to me would be something Jane Fonda would do. Like I say to each his own
Because Cabela's , walmart , bass pro , Academy and every other store sells yeti , you shouldn't shop there..? If you stop shopping there were are you going to buy anything... So your not shopping at Walmart anymore either...? Better try and find a local mom and pop store then because pretty much every big business sells things from companies that are on the band wagon.. Now with Vista outdoors joining in and selling off Savage , Stevens no more CCI primers etc.. might as well hang it up then...
I wholly applaud Springfields stand with Dicks.
"GENESEO, IL, (05/03/18) – Springfield Armory is severing ties with Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring a group for anti-Second Amendment lobbying.
This latest action follows Dick’s Sporting Goods’ decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles (MSR) from their inventory. In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21. We at Springfield Armory believe that all law abiding American citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.
It is clear where Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, stand on the Second Amendment, and we want to be clear about our message in response. Their position runs counter to what we stand for as a company. At Springfield Armory, we believe in the right and principles fought for and secured by American patriots and our founding forefathers, without question. We will not accept Dick’s Sporting Goods’ continued attempts to deny Second Amendment freedoms to our fellow Americans."

I boycotted yeti last year way before this when they sued rtic. they didnt have enough faith in their own product they felt threatened by a company that used chinese labor to undercut them. I thought it was funny myself like walmart crying and suing because a mom and pop shop had a smiley face in their store or something.
Both the Ozark trail and the yeti are made in China.... Pretty much everything but the expensive Tundra line yeti sell is made in China or the Philippines but people think there USA made products... And yes sir I am sure that smiley face would have cost Walmart soooo much money..lol.... These big companies just run everyone out of business... I own 1 yeti koozie and it was a gift , but I do like my Ozark trail $9 cups...
I live in a small town so my shopping for reloading stuff is either small local owned shops , academy or Cabela's in Austin... If I boycotted every store or every group that sell something on the list... I just won't be able to buy anything other than ordering online and now that includes Midway..??? I order alot from them also... It's not a losing battle but we just have to not buy from the worst offenders and wait this out hopefully.... I am pro 2A and of course an NRA member but the list is getting kinda long..
BTW yeti tryed to sue both rtic and Walmart and made Cabela's change up their knock off cooler also..
