Pizza chain Papa John's will end its sponsorship deal with the NFL next season, after years of being "the official pizza of the NFL."
The end of the pizza chain's sponsorship comes two months after Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter stepped down amid controversy over remarks he made about NFL players' protests during the national anthem hurting the company's business.
The announcement was reported first by Fox Business Network's Charles Gasparino before being confirmed in an earnings call with the company's investors Tuesday afternoon.
In a statement to media, the two organizations announced that the business relationship would shift to individual relationships with local NFL teams and personalities.
But don't shed too many tears for papa John's.
After all they are still the preferred pizza of white supremacists.
Of course the worst thing about Papa John's is that it's just shitty pizza.
In my opinion the racists are welcome to it.
Who cares, let me know when they give up their billion dollar non profit status.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am assuming the NRA terrorist group that bribes Congress also has non profit status.
I tried their pizza - once. I was barely able to get the first bite down. I threw out the rest and went to another pizza joint.

That place is a mess, it is a total mess and has been pretty much from the start.”"“I can say this: there are a lot of people who want to work in the White House,” Kingston remarked. “There is a lot of excitement. These are very, very tough jobs. these are 18-hour-a-day jobs, not 12 hour a day, a lot of stress, a lot of strain.”
Delete“Let me say this, look what they’re getting done,”
"“We haven’t seen this kind of leadership, and I served in Congress during 9/11, during some other chaotic times and I can tell you they are stressful. When you’re getting things done in this town it is very chaotic, i also served in Congress during some mundane times and you didn’t get much done. So I think when you’re pedal to the metal the way this administration is, you’re going to have some spin-off issues and I think it is unfortunately the nature of Washington as much as anything else.”"

It is great that you manage to string together the ridiculous notion that people who believe in their country, and the moments that remind us that we are all one.... are somehow racist... because they stand for the flag.
ReplyDeletePlease please keep up your stupid projections all the way into the next several election cycles.
The pizza tastes like it already came out of the bunghole.

ReplyDeletePapa John himself is quite the accomplished asshole. I’m glad he had to step down, and also happy that the NFL did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, there were a bunch of Nazis at CPAC. Is anyone surprised?

"But at 2018’s CPAC last week, it at times felt like the loons had taken control of the place. The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, just outside of Washington, D.C., was crawling with white nationalists. We’re talking open bigots who promote the idea of a white ethno-state and spend a frightening amount of time fretting over anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremism, called this year’s gathering akin to “a carnival of conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, and mainstream Republicans all uniting under President Trump.”
“In many ways,” the SPLC wrote, “CPAC has become an annual measure of how far the radical right has moved into the mainstream of the conservative right, especially in recent years as anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and anti-LGBT groups have found political friends in the United States and Europe.”"
