BREAKING: DICK’S Sporting Goods shareholders have voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal (tally TBA). Proposal asking DICK’S to report on “affirmative action risks” of “discrimination” cited lawsuits filed against other companies by America First Legal, a group founded by Stephen Miller.
Anti-DEI proposal presented by the National Center for Public Policy Research said “discrimination” is “being conducted in the name of diversity and inclusion.” DICK’S Board wrote in its proxy statement: “We are proud of our culture, which we consider to be a strategic differentiator and source of our company’s success,” and recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.
Dick’s Inclusion page: “We have a focused vision and a clear, concise game plan for achieving a more fair and inclusive workplace at DICK’S and a better world beyond.” And: “We have zero-tolerance for acts of racism and discrimination.”
