450 stores to close. 14,500 to lose their jobs.: Sports Authority Files for Bankruptcy: 450-Store Closure Could Leave 14,500 People Jobless - Breitbart (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/05/02/sports-authority-files-bankruptcy-450-store-closure-leave-14500-people-jobless/)


The current CEO of Sports Authority is Mike Foss, former CFO of Circuit City. Why would someone who worked in such a high position for a company that went down the toilet end up in an even higher position at another giant retail chain?

I buy all my clothing and shoes online. The only thing keeping these places in business are all the women who are too OCD over clothing fit. With Amazon if you don't like the fit, you can put it in a box, print up a label, and drop your package off at your local UPS Store.
