Papa John's. Best pizza around if you want diarrhea.

I thought it was pretty spineless for them to blame the NFL for their earnings failure. I think their follow-up Tweets are even worse. Make better pizzas faster and cheaper. Don't blame the NFL, the kneelers or neo-Nazis.

As long as the NFL is still losing people who cares about Papa John's.

The first time I had Papa John's Pizza it was great. However, this was decades ago when I was in college. The pizza had much more cheese than other brands. Maybe who ever order the pizza got it with extra cheese, idk. Anyway, that no longer seems to be the case.

When is the last time you have been to Little Ceazars? Of all the chain pizza places, I think they are the best.

Yep, John Schnatter's pizza really sucks.

My in-laws get Little Caesar’s and it’s the worst. Thick doughy crust that tastes undercooked. The sauce has no flavour at all. And it was so undercooked the cheese wasn’t melted.

I’d rather go hungry.

Seems like there are lots of pizza snobs on this thread.

It warms my heart that Schnatter may be losing money for grabbing the wrong coattails on the NFL player protests. He's a smarmy little weasel.

All sports TV watchers are losing views. Not just the NFL.

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

Papa John’s 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."
