Dick's Sporting Goods is a VERY, discriminatory company towards a specific group of associates, specifically, Older, straight, white males. They have been passed up for promotions to younger, less qualified associates ONLY based on their gender and race, not on any substancial qualifications that are above the older, white males qualifications. They also target the same demographic when it comes to placing TOTAL blame for a customers bad experience on the older, white males. I'm not certain this is a problem throughout the country, but, it is DEFINITELY evident in the Hartford/Springfield area.
