Papa Johns Pleads For Nazis to Not Buy Their Pizza After Daily Stormer Endorsement

Papa John’s Pizza has had a rough couple of weeks, which began when CEO John Schnatter seemed to suggest that the company’s 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.

What makes it even better. The racist and white supremacist will buy his pizza in an act of sticking it to us "Libtards". They'll still end up eating shitty pizza. LOL

(Of course I can't eat nitrates, so that eliminates most meat from Subway and PJ's)

It must hurt, you'd think figure out that his stupid opinions hurt his business and keep politics out of pizza.

Decent people aren't buying your product anymore, and now you're telling the Nazis to stay away? Not a smart move.

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!

Pizza Hut and Domino's sales are up and there's more competition with places like Mod and Blaze Pizza expanding.

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.

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.
