Some entity has an agreement with Sports Authority to use their name on the web, as Sports Authority really does not have 'their own' website, so to speak.

Like those who illegally make millions via the stock market, get caught, lose in court and pay a fine, that ends up being a fraction of their ill-gotten gain, only to have already started a VOIP co. Vonage, anyone? Karma is a bitch. I’d watch it if it was centered around Internet-based mistakes, blunders and factoids.

Don't let the "partner" title fool you, typically GSI assumes all the web business and pays the brick and mortar retailer a 15% royalty just for using the brand name. (GSI normally carries it's own inventory as well). Maybe their agreement is different but this is how GSI typically does deals. Appears Toys R US handed over its destiny again shortly after the Amazon deal. http://gsicommerce.com/index.php/en/ourpartners The thing is Toy’s R Us signed with GSI Commerce to handle it’s web business.

People shop amazon for a toy they read about. Toys R Us does not have the toy, nor do they plan to buy it. Amazon makes it available via another source. Who is really at fault? Would Toys R Us buy it just because someone was searching for it? When is a superstore not a superstore? It’s pretty simple really. People shop amazon for a toy they read about.
