Papa John blames NFL’ers for crappy sales of crappy pizza (dollars, ratings)

Goddell is going to be shocked to learn he's black.

I've met Seth DeValve of the Browns before (who took a knee). Looked white to me...then again I'm darker than most black folks.

I see whitey coming to get me from everywhere!

lol as if papa johns sales are not exactly tied into the product- the cost of it - and the service to get it lolol.

Sorry john but when it comes to cookie-cutter sub par pizza- there is simply too much competition. dominos, pizza hut, little ceasers. buy them out and start with dominos ( they try to charge local small shop prices for their 14in ' large')

Good for you, thanks for sharing.

What is the problem? The CEO is responsible to shareholders for EARNINGS. The protests have hurt viewership, and caused a decline in ratings, and thus viewers of the commercials. Thus sales have suffered. Where is the "racism"?

eh standing, a knee ? there a difference? .. isn't bowing also a sign of respect? how many of the offended people are vets?

Their pizza is okay, but honestly Papa John is just a Trump supporter upset that Trump couldn't get the NFL to do his bidding IMO.

He's says silly things before regarding his political views/perceptions. His comments are more than likely an advertisement themselves in order to attempt to drive more people to buy his pizza because he's against the protests.

If he and other's (namely Trump) hadn't made it such a big deal, I doubt the naive masses would have cared enough to stop watching the NFL anyway.
