“Why do lesbians shop at Sports Authority?”/“Because they don’t like Dick’s.”
Dick’s Sporting Goods was founded by Richard “Dick” Stack in 1948. There’s a popular riddle on the name:
Q: Why do lesbians shop at Sports Authority?
A: Because they don’t like Dick’s.
“Why do lesbians like The Sports Authority?” was posted on Twitter by Sam Biller on April 6, 2008. Sports Authority went bankrupt in 2016, and its operations were purchased by Dick’s. The joke has also been told about sporting goods retailers other than Sports Authority, such as Modell’s, Cabela’s, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops and Academy Sports.

So not PC but still funny even to a gal who’s GLBT friendly: “Sporting lesbians go to Gander Mountain because they don’t like Dick’s.”
