The pizza chain completely backs NFL players right to protest, renounces the alt-right in a series of tweets

Papa Johns apologized on Twitter Tuesday for blaming poor sales on the NFL player protests during the national anthem. The pizza chain said that it supports the players' act of dissent to "create a new platform for change."
The company had already renounced the alt-right after The Daily Stormer, a notorious white supremacist website, endorsed Papa John's as the "official pizza of the alt-right" following CEO John Schnatter's claim that the NFL protests were hurting the pizza chain's bottom line.
"We condemn racism in all forms and any and all hate groups that support it," Peter Collins, the senior director of public relations at Papa John's, said in a statement last week. "We do not want these individuals or groups to buy our pizza."
Schnatter's controversial comments were made during a conference call last month. In them, the CEO said, "The NFL has hurt us by not resolving the current debacle to the players and owners satisfaction" and that "this should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago."

(6,938 posts)He figured his play for rednecks would bring in the sales by bashing black NFL players. BACKFIRED big time eh Papa?? While you still tried to peddle your shit pizza Pizza Hut ran a FIFTY PERCENT off sale last week. I stocked up and bought SIX.

(963 posts)He screws his employees, his customers, and the rest of us that have the good sense to not eat the crap he is selling when he supports people like Trump. I'd rather eat Domino's Pizza out of a dumpster that contribute a single cent to Schnatter.

I'm not suggesting anything nefarious, I'm just curious.

(28,883 posts)At that time (they still might still) PJ's got their crust dough shipped to them. It was delivered on open plastic trays with holes in them like a milk carrier. When delivering, they would lay these open trays of unwrapped dough right on the side walk. It was disgusting. Another time, they took many many pounds of raw dough and threw it in an industrial dumpster.. The dough expanded overnite and when I came to work, the dough had come alive and was oozing out the sides of the closed dumpster. (If I knew how to post a picture on here I would.) It looked alive and expanded so much it bent out the steel dumpster. We had to get a new dumpster. Delivery drivers habitually parked in the handicapped spots and they all, manager included, gave me attitude. They kept the store messy and supplied no trash cans, expecting their trash to go in the building trash cans outside the doors. There were 90 apts of students above the store. Hardly ever did we see PJ pizza boxes. Everyone ordered pizza from elsewhere.. Shout out to Glass Nickel Pizza....
I would NEVER recommend PJ's. Ever Ever Ever... NEVER....

(15,393 posts)You're nothing but a right wing hack who made money by selling shitty pizza, built a mansion with a fucking moat, and complained that you couldn't provide health care coverage to your employees because it would add pennies to the cost of said shitty pizza.
Oh...and your pizza sucks. I'd rather put ketchup on saltines and cover it with cheeswiz
