    Default Another Sporting Goods Store takes a stance


    And not like you'd think they would take, looks like they're caving. Wished I'd have known this before buying a new pair of boots from them a couple weeks ago. Meh, last of my money they'll see.

    Unrelated, but interesting fact (not that I was ever a big fan, walked out of a DSG in Indy one time after trying to buy $300 in fishing gear, but never found anyone to run the register).

    From Wiki

    The company's e-tailing website dickssportinggoods.com is operated by GSI Commerce under license and e-commerce agreements.
    GSI Commerce is an eBay company specializing in creating, developing and running online shopping sites for brick and mortar brands and retailers.

    They're just being "Dicks" about it.

    Never been a fan of them anyways. Like others, the few times I've gone in, they didn't have what I was looking for.

    Time Warner Cable company bans some gun ads | Fox News

    (and YES, I purposely found this on FOX )

    "We no longer accept ads showing semiautomatic weapons and guns pointed at people," Time Warner Cable said in a statement. "We stand by this policy. If it's essential to a business owner to show this kind of imagery in their commercials, there are other advertising options in the marketplace."
    I honesty don't think they had any paid gun advertisers anyway.......but you'll note they'll continue to show programming with all sorts of weapons.

    Bootlickers.........

    Exactly, just a liberal attention getter...."Look at us, we're going to stop doing something we never did in the 1st place".
