If fewer people are watching the game, then yes, sales will be down.
I'm not a fan of fast food chains for the most part but franchisees of pizza chains count on spikes in sales during the football season. Minus those usually predictable spikes, they're going to suffer and we're going to hear about it.
Mock them all you want but these are small business owners whose businesses are suffering. Not amusing, in my opinion.
I've never eaten Papa John's pizza. Ive heard that it is nothing to brag about, but evidently many must like it. They are a pretty big corporation. They got that way some how.
As for the NFL's and kneeling players part? Viewership is down. Not sure I ever bought a product because it was advertised during a game. I am sure some do.
I bet it would taste pretty damn good as the first thing to eat after going on a hunger strike for about 45 days.
Isn't tv viewership down like 5%? So yeah you moron, expect your sales to go down. He's a special kind of stupid.
Couple points:
1) General TV viewership may not uniformly decrease by 5%. I would not want to make the assumption without facts that the NFL is equally impacted like other TV shows as it is a different type of product.
2) Attendance is down too, I would consider this as another indicator not related to the "cable cutting" movement
Hold up. I'm black and this title is misleading. He didn't blame black NFL'ers. He blame the people in charge for not putting a stop to this. I guess the argument is if they should have or not. I don't know. I don't own an NFL team. But I know you can't do that at my job or you'll be fired. They pay me to do a job. Now after work I can protest to my heart's content.
It's not just Papa John's. Other NFL sponsors are also reporting lost sales.
And the owners are keeping a low profile ...I guess hoping it goes away by itself.
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.
In this case I think he's just a mediocre CEO of a mediocre chain pizza store looking for an excuse for their performance that doesn't involve him taking any responsibility.
I believe him to be white. You believe him to be black.
We're working on clearing this up. Put on some coffee if needs be.
