Gart Sports/Name Change
[edit]The article currently contains this sentence: "In May 2006, all 400 stores operated under the Sports Authority banner." which doesn't really sound relavent unless you know that some of the stores changed names or when the name change happened. Does anyone have this information, or want to revise the sentence to make more sense? It's nice that the article contains current information but I think some history is important too. -- Renesis13 22:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Dick's Or TSA
[edit]Dick's sporting goods page says: Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) is the world's largest sporting goods retailer.
TSA'S page says: The Sports Authority is America's largest full line sporting goods retailer.
But isn't Dick's in America? TSA has 400 stores versus Dick's 261? TSA wins. please update!!
Whichever entry gets to say "largest", an objective authority for the claim should be included. In any case, whether or not it is the largest is not likely to be the most interesting or important fact about sporting goods chain, so the statements lead position in the article is a PR statement however well the claim is validated.
Return Policy
[edit]Is this section really necessary in an encyclopedia entry? Darry2385 00:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Split
[edit]Come on. Oshman's, Sport Mart and Gart were all individual chains in their own right until Sports Authority gobbled them up. Surely they deserve their own pages. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:09, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Actually Gart Bros. Sporting Goods bought out Sportmart and Oshman's and then it was a true merger with Sports Authority. Look at who is still heading the company Doug Morten signed the checks then and he still signs them now. UAbeatsNike (talk) 05:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit]I see that Bain has invested and wondering why this is not in the article. If someone would contribute, I will not need to. --Wikipietime (talk) 15:04, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
