Companies across America are quickly realizing that catering to 3 to 4 percent of the country’s population instead of your usual customers, is harmful to the company’s bottom line.
Following in the “woke” trend, Dick’s Sporting Goods, who has previously exposed themselves as being anti-Constitution, has once again reminded everyone that they would probably want to purchase their sporting goods for somewhere else.
After the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which handed back to the states, the right to ban or allow abortions, the company’s CEO Lauren Hobert put out a statement that female employees working for Dick’s Sporting Goods will be offered company assistance via financial aid, if they wish to murder their own child.
Hobert posted to LinkedIn:
“At DICK’S, our teammates are the heart of our business, and we are committed to protecting their health and well-being.”
“Today, the Supreme Court announced a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing the federal right to an abortion and leaving the decision up to each state.
“While we do not know what decision each state will make in response to this ruling, we at DICK’S Sporting Goods are prepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live.”
“In response to today’s ruling, we are announcing that if a state one of our teammates lives in restricts access to abortion, DICK’S Sporting Goods will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available. This benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person.”
“We recognize people feel passionately about this topic — and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision. However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration. We are making this decision so our teammates can access the same health care options, regardless of where they live, and choose what is best for them.”
The company had previously made the decision to stop selling what they called “assault weapons,” coming on the heels of a mass shooting and the company lost millions in revenue because of it.
Despite this, CEO Edward Stack has previously told CNN that the company was fully embracing the Biden administration’s push for gun control and that the company was prepared to lose customers.
Fortune reported:
“Dick’s move last month at its three-dozen Field & Stream stores — extending a ban on assault-style rifles already in place at its namesake locations — came after a fatal shooting spree at a Florida high school. The company also raised the age limit to 21 from 18 on the purchase of any firearm. But the effect on its business remains to be seen.”
Shares in the company have in fact dropped by 7.3 percent – after a 13 percent climb in revenue since the beginning of the year – but it seems that Dick’s is not worried about hemorrhaging profits and Americans seem to be happy shopping elsewhere.
Dick’s hasn’t gone out of business yet?
I don’t shop there anyway, so I don’t give a flying fk what happens to them. Wokeness should be punished and I hope they go out of business because of it.
Well, their name says it all, just put sucks before it, that says it all!
That’s the solution, can’t fall pregnant
The brain-dead people running these woke companies need a job that requires them to say “you want fries with that? lol
nobody cares about WOKE companies. Boycott all of them.
I would like to know who are the brain dead people who still shop there? It must be the Dem’s or the Rino’s? I can’t believe there are any real honest constatives that still use them? So who is doing all the complaining?
We just moved close to a Dicks store, after having to travel over 2 hrs.. to get to one, and my Husband said “Oh Good, now I have somewhere close to buy my “stuff”. Well, NOT ANYMORE! Politics don’t belong in Business if you want to attract and retain all paying Customers!! Especially the Decent ones! Woke politics=Idiot Actions from Libs=losses …too bad- soo sad…
So sorry….but I will be shopping elsewhere and miss some of the good employees that Dick’s has…tuff days ahead for them all.
I brought some high dollar items there 10 years ago …. well before this crap started …. that was the last i brought or will buy
There are other golf stores that I’ll be buying my stuff from.
