Sports Authority notified the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that the company would be able to reorganize and would pursue a sale instead.

That means all 450 stores will close.

Sports Authority filed for Chapter 11 in March, saying at the time it would close 140 stores and two distribution centers

Crazy but not really surprising. Most department stores won't exist in a few decades I imagine. It's cheaper and easier to shop online. That's all there is to it.

The internet strikes again.

Al Gore created a monster.

They just opened one up near me a few months ago. Very nice inside but goddamn is their stuff expensive. I like shopping brick and mortars if they're reasonably close in price to online stores, but Sports Authority is nuts.

He did it for convenience to conveniently spread the truth. The Anointed Gore.

I go out of my way to shop in brick and mortar stores. If it's a couple bucks more, I'll spend it.

I'm surprised Big 5 has lasted this long. I pretty much don't even consider checking out their store for anything - overpriced, poor selection - yet somehow their net income has actually increased over the course of 2015.

That's because they sale meth on the side.

There shit is expensive so I'm not surprised. Oh well, Dicks sporting goods and Big 5 are still in business. I stopped by Sports authority and their shit is still expensive. I gotta make a list of shit to buy. Just the usual, weights, ab roller, thigh master, the good shit.

lol. I was going to post that Big 5 must have some niche market I'm not aware of.

 

[KaNesDeath]

What i want are those bowflex dumbbells that let you dial in the weight. Pitty those probably arent on sale.
