Okay the ceo's of Papa John's pizza think the NFL is showing poor leadership by 'allowing' their players to protest the social and criminal injustice of white police officers MURDERING UNARMED BLACK MEN AND WOMEN! Since our lives don't matter to them, then neither does our money! Now Black Folks this is an easy one! It's time to TO BOYCOTT PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA NATIONWIDE! Now if you want pizza you can go to Pizza Hut, Dominoes Donatos Little Ceasar's, or any other number of places here in America! We don't HAVE TO BUY PIZZA AT PAPA JOHN'S!!!! Since they think that the NFL is showing poor leadership, lets show them what poor leadership is when some dumasssed honkie bastards let us know that the murder of Black men and women at the hands of the police don't matter to them yet they've built a successful franchise off of OUR MONEY! Lets boycott these bastards til they have to file for bankruptcy! Now opening your big fucking mouths to me sounds like poor leadership, dumasses! Jessie Jackson, while you're worried about some stupid cars most African Americans don't even buy why are you not dealing with this, or are these people some of those who have paid you off too?
Papa John’s International Inc. founder John Schnatter is
going after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, saying weak handling of the
league’s national-anthem controversy has hammered sales of his pizza.
“The NFL has hurt us by not resolving the current debacle to the players’ and owners’ satisfaction,” Schnatter, who serves as the pizza chain’s chairman and chief executive officer, said on a conference call. “NFL leadership has hurt Papa John’s shareholders.”
The remarks follow a controversy over NFL football players protesting during the national anthem, a movement that started last season. The demonstrations have sparked calls for a boycott and raised concerns among league sponsors. But Schnatter’s comments mark the highest-profile example of an NFL partner publicly blaming the outcry for hurting business.
Goodell, whose contract is up for renewal, has taken flak for not resolving the controversy more quickly. The flap has even drawn tweets from President Donald Trump, who called for owners to fire or bench players who refuse to stand during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
“Leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership,” Schnatter said.
It’s hard to quantify the connection between the NFL and pizza sales, but Papa John’s did post disappointing results in the latest quarter. Its shares fell as much as 13 percent on Wednesday -- the most in two years -- after same-store sales missed analysts’ estimates. The Louisville, Kentucky-based company also trimmed its revenue and profit forecasts for the year.
The NFL declined to comment.
Schnatter has appeared frequently in advertisements during NFL games, including alongside star quarterback Peyton Manning, a franchisee of the chain’s restaurants in Colorado. Back in 2014, when Papa John’s posted a nearly 10 percent gain in North American same-store sales, the company credited its close relationship with the NFL and Manning for driving its business in the U.S.
On Wednesday, the tone was quite different. Papa John’s post-earnings conference call was dominated by negative talk of the NFL. The league’s name came up 44 times during the discussion, compared with 12 mentions in the year-earlier call.
The company wasn’t specific about the sales impact from the NFL protests, but indicated it was shifting some marketing spending away from the league.
