Does that look like anything special to you? Ostensibly, it's a rack of clothes at Dick's Sporting Goods at Oxmoor Mall, but are the metal bars arranged in any particular fashion? On Monday night I noticed a peculiar design that this and many of the other racks at the store formed, and a 91* investigation came up with some shocking results.
Look at the racks from a top view, made possible by a handy escalator. See anything now? Yes. The racks form literally dozens of swastikas all over the store. I'm not sure how the design slipped by the people that made these or the management at Dick's, considering it obviously took some thought to build them. Each different bar is set at a different height, so it's not obvious right off the bat. I did what I could to sharpen these pictures, but surreptitiously snapping pictures with a camera phone traveling down an escalator doesn't make for ideal photo conditions. Finally, in case you still can't see it...
I refuse to actually draw one, so the arrows point to the outlying arms perpendicular from the plus sign-shaped middle. I wanted to ask a manager or employee, but I figured asking why they had symbols of hate scattered throughout their establishment would result in a really awkward conversation and me probably having to answer a lot more questions than they would. In any event, I'll just find somewhere else to buy my North Face pullovers and Under Armour compression shorts, you Nazi scum.

Nice catch, Ryan! No more shopping at Dick's for us. (Oh, wait. I'd actually have to START shopping there before I can officially boycott them.)
And you totally shot that from the top of the rock wall you were climbing with the 12-year-olds. Fess up.
guess im done shopping there. WOw that took a sharpe eye.
It takes a sick mind to catch something like that.
kinda strange though...
I've always wondered why they called it, "Dick's".
Maybe its a self description.
Best blog post of the day.
Some people are so lonely... don't suppose that you seen the figure of Jesus in a ham sandwic?
I understand Dick's has a new line for folks who like to rough it in the Great Outdoors. They call it "Dick's Concentration Camping."
Those are actually backwards swastikas. Real swastikas point in the opposite direction.
Yeah, anonymous is right.
Well, if it's backwards that means it's actually a Greek symbol that means "peace."
I worked in a off-campus textbook store at UGA that had the same racks...but of course I treated the Jews with respect!
The clothing racks at every department store look like that.
I hate jews. They have big noses and shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
ever store has racks like that. you're not special, you did not just unconver anything, you douche
Yeah..and I don't think Ryan really thinks Dick's supports Hatred either.
I guess you'll never shop again because every retail store has racks arranged that way. It's called maximizing floor space. You're a quick one.
Those are actually backwards swastikas. Real swastikas point in the opposite direction.
Clearly, the racks were designed by Morton Downey Jr.
Wow people really don't get sarcasim do they!!! JOKE..HELLO..
I thought jokes were supposed to be funny...
I can't believe deadspin led me to this
swastikas originally were hindu symbols for the sun-- the damn hitler co-opted them.
maybe this is the owner of dicks-
