Cramer has frequently discussed DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS) in the context of its acquisition of footwear and apparel retailer Foot Locker. He is very excited about the deal and lamented in July that he should have just pounded the table with buy after the deal. The reason Cramer is optimistic about DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS)’s acquisition is because of Nike’s turnaround being led by CEO Elliott Hill. Cramer is quite optimistic about Hill’s profile and his efforts, and he believes a revitalized Nike could benefit the firm. In this appearance, he briefly commented on DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS):

“I think DICK’S is good”

While Cramer is optimistic about DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS)’s Foot Locker acquisition, the market wasn’t at the time of the deal’s announcement. The CNBC TV host described the prevailing sentiment at the time in his Mad Money appearance on May 23rd:

“Wednesday morning, well, let’s see, we got two retailers, DICK’S Sporting Goods with a stock that’s been crushed and it’s announced its plan to buy Foot Locker last week. . .It is imperative that DICK’S explains its rationale for the Foot Locker deal. Maybe the stock can get some footing, but right now, people think this deal is a game changer in a real bad way for DICK’S. I don’t know what they can say to change that, but I’ll tell you, the stock has just been eviscerated.”
