I have been a shopper at Dick's Sporting Goods for years, and often have enjoyed perusing their aisles. Unfortunately, during my last visit to their store, with my cart there in my hand, I was notified by their staff of their new anti-constitutional fundamental freedom position assumed by their corporate owners. Apparently, Dick's has determined to support violating the fundamental civil rights of young Americans by illegally (in violation of the civil rights act) discriminating against members of the public ages 17-20 by prohibiting them from exercising their 2nd amendment rights and by hiring lobbyists to urge congress to violate the constitutional rights of their consumers. I cannot and will not in good conscience shop at a store like Dick's where people who also put on the uniform are discriminated against. If a store wants to get involved in politics--that's great, but it shouldn't be acting like Woolworths lunch counters barring African Americans during the civil rights struggle. Dick's has lost me, despite a good selection of kayaks.
