Papa Johns Pizza has had a rough couple of weeks, which began when CEO John Schnatter seemed to suggest that the companys flagging profits were the fault of protesting NFL players.
The controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country, he said about the incidents in which players refused to stand for the national anthem, blaming NFL executives for showing poor leadership by not putting the kibosh on the protests, which were started to call attention to police brutality against black Americans.

(10,611 posts)Your sales are down, Papa John, because some people have figured out you're a greedy RW jerk who withholds healthcare from your employees at the very least.
It's not the police brutality protests at fault, though you'd like that to be true because you probably hate them just as much as Trump and Ditka and the like.
But alienate the Trump base of white supremacists, and you'll drive yourself further in the hole. Issuing your PR statement to look like you care about racial justice doesn't erase the fact that those are the people in your political camp.
Oh well. Good luck with all that!

Even if the NFL was "to blame", it was stupid of him to say that. Now he will lose more business from people who are reminded that he's a right wing asshole.

(32 posts)I'm from right down the road from where Papa John's from, and his entire family are known to be jerks. I mean, their pizza is bad, so I don't buy it, but even if it was good, I still wouldn't. Screw supporting people like this.
