Papa Johns considering ending NFL sponsorship

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Papa John’s is displeased enough with the NFL’s ratings and response to national anthem protests that they’re reconsidering their sponsorship of the league.

The company is re-evaluating its ad campaigns, according to Julie Jargon and Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal, and admitted that they will move their advertising dollars elsewhere if the league’s ratings decline — which the company blames on the protests — does not reverse itself.

“If the viewership decline continues, we will need to shift into things that work more effectively for us,” Papa John’s President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Ritchie said. “We are anxiously awaiting a solution to be created. That’s what will put the league in a positive place for the players, the fan base and the partners associated with them.”

Papa John’s has already started to pull some ad buys, though their assertion on the main cause of lower ratings would likely be disputed by many. It’s the first real sign that a major NFL sponsor is threatening to pull out of the association on account of the anthem issue.

It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your pizza is pretty shitty would it?

6. I don't think being the official pizza of White Supremacy is going to be too profitable.

Granted, fat assholes living in their parent's basement probably eat a lot of pizza, but overall, a lot more people watch the NFL.

A swastika shaped pizza would have a lot of edge pieces, if that's your thing, and the box would look huge in relation to the amount of ingredients.

10. The tiki torchers also eat a lot of this shit!

And you know what? They can have it! There's plenty of much better pizza out there!

9. So that should mean his ads won't be on during Super Bowl. Great!!

11. Nazi Pizza.

Papa John's is mad the NFL didn't control its blacks.

And it's not an anthem issue. It's a cops-killing-unarmed-black-people crisis.

12. Shitty pizza.

Too much sauce. I hate their pizza.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

16. Good. Hurry up.

I'm tired of hearing the better ingredients bullshit. Better than what? Battery acid?

Also tired of the scripted and staged spots intending to make Shnattlocker appear to be bestest buds with different sports stars. Most probably wouldn't give him the time of day without some money factored in. Free or cheap franchises, *cough* Peyton Manning *cough cough*.

Tired of seeing pizza, that ranks at or below Lil Caesars, quality wise, being presented as a desirable primo product, and priced as such.

Tired of seeing a guy I know to be a class A asshole pretending to be a good ole boy on the TV machine.

Papa Puke.

Good riddance!

17. Who needs the NFL when you got the KKK supporting you?

Papa John's, hate at 425 degrees!

[Blue Owl]

18. He's probably giving Peyton a ton of pay $$$

There goes the doughtard's profits...
