  Sports Direct are a vile, abusive organisation. I'm not sure how the owner can sleep at night knowing that his riches are the direct result of exploiting desperate people. This is the story that the parent comment is referring to: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/dec/09/how-sports-direct-effectively-pays-below-minimum-wage-pay http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/dec/09/how-sports-d... Their shares rose 4% after the Conservatives won the general election, because the market didn't expect them to reform zero-hours contracts. (It seems the market was correct). http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/election-2015-sports-direct-share-price-up-4-per-cent-after-zero-hours-relief-on-conservative-win-10235628.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/election-201...
