Name
The Hull Princes Quay branch is still called Sport Soccer, although the Hull Kingswood branch is called Sports World. Have they simply not updated it yet, or are both brands still in use in tandem? Digifiend 12:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * To avoid tax, they change some names & not others, For example another store in Hull is called Sportsdirect.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

SportsDirect business identity analysis
Sports Direct wikipedia talk

It is an insult on the collective intelligence of 1 billion people who rely on wikipedia as a source of information to educate them on global matters, if wikipedia pages are being used for self promotion by businesses. This page should not serve as an advertisement platform for SportsDirect and its businesses, but as an educative platform for the over one billion people who make reference to wikipedia.

The origianal article as composed, denies readers the chance of understanding, debating and discussing the principal factors that define and identify Sportsdirect as a brand. Hence, the article can best be described as incomplete, inaccurate, intentionally misleading and not upto date.

Sports Direct is a brand that identifies with discounts, selling discounted products all year round. Readers need to be aware of the issues related to the choice they make when they shop with sports direct. This page is not a page to promote sportsDirect as a business, but to inform and educate readers on the identity of SportsDirect.

SportsDirect business identity and practices reflects all that is wrong with the world as it today with regards to child labour and deprived childhood. Capitalist tendencies that promotes the cheap production of goods and services. There are many dangers associated with SportsDirect's business identity and what the company stands for. Discounted and cheap products are the end results of a long chain of negative inactions that defy any sense of justice and fairness in the world that we live in.

Through this article page, we are able to educate persons on the choices that they make and the direct consequences of this choice. Cheap and discounted products from cheap labour sources in third world countries imply underpaid children workers, deprived of their childhood ,fundamental liberty and a beffiting future. The sports direct article should reflect the choices that people make by patronising these businesses, in the hope that millions would be delivered from capitalism induced child slavery.
