s in modern history that Sports Direct are willing to risk the health and well-being of their employees and the general public to commercially exploit the retail market."The news was met with ridicule and outrage on social media. Another tweeted: “Don’t leave your house other than to buy food/medicine/essential work or if you work at sports direct. Love that. #Fuming.”

It's crap in there at the best of times who's gonna go there to panic buy anything

well if people avoid the store & not shop then he might just get the mesg

My god if JDSports can close you can you and anyone who shops there are risking lives

Of course it is, we all need new sports gear and a new set of tennis balls for self isolating. Personally I will be in my PJs for three months but each to their own. 🙄🤬

Bloody greedy Ashley again!!! Can you guess I'm a Newcastle supporter!

Bad move

Don't know why as they are out of stock in store and online for fitness stuff!

It should be shut

Everyone should boycott Sports Direct...

I know he’s shut it now, what a selfish boss for his staff, while he sits at home on his backside with his millions, he puts his staff at risk, thank u GMTV for highlighting this, well done

Vital, what is viral about a sports shop?

Heavily fine Mike Ashley, no respect for peoples people's lives, minimum of 10k fine should be imposed.

Nobody shops in there anyway so it’s fine 😂

Good old mike Ashley money before health. Shit shops should be closed for ever

Disgusting!! Why would a sports shop be vital in a crisis like this?

How about closing sports direct! If that remains open and risks lives then let's all go outside and buy chavvy tracksuits. borisjohnsonpm BorisJohnson

Sport is important for everyone well being. They should be applauded for their initiative

What if I need to buy a cricket gun or a rugby stick? The must never close.

This is not vital - this will be a huge kick in the teeth to those outlets rightly closing - I get we keep fit - but order online at least - this is an invite to idiots buying ‘vital’ supplies & encourages going out its unfair trading !!! Surely ?

that's me never using these guys again......money grabbing shits. If they really cared they would do only online and at cost!

Mike Ashley wants to kill your nan

It's shut people, relax 😂

Everyone should just boycott it

SNP MP sparks fury after he attacks church closes over coronavirus ‘Trust in Jesus’A SNP MP has sparked fury after he criticised a church for cancelling services amid the coronavirus pandemic. Pray at home...it works from there too. Self isolate. When God said He was the Sheperd and we were the sheep, He meant for us to have the faith of sheep, NOT to be as stupid as sheep. Sheep are dumb animals and God helps those who help themselves. SNP think they’re more important than Jesus.
