Big5 Sporting Goods on the Simpsons[edit]

I founded the Big 5 Sporting goods Store in Springfield. See [1]. User:BigBang19 15:27 PST 10/28/2006

The above link http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/Springfield-map%28TheSimpsons%29.png gives the following message: "404 error:File not found". Also, judging from the URL itself the link does not seem to be connected to 'Big 5 Sporting Goods'. Shearonink (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

is etymology related to top sports a myth?[edit]

There's a citation needed explanation of the brands name. I've heard a myth that "big 5" refers to the big 5 sports, i.e. football baseball basketball soccer and (hockey, volleyball, golf?)

Is this a common myth and is it busted? 77.102.251.118 (talk) 08:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
