papa john

The worst pizza I have ever tasted is now dumping his bigot asz after crashing sales. Get a clue. Your pizza sucks, and no matter how much of a dumbasz he was, if you do not serve real pizza, you cannot sell the crap. who cares about the NFL......fix your fricking pizza.

Now they're taking his name off a Louisville stadium and scrubbing his image from the logo and advertising. That's a pretty big step and not cheap either--it's going to be double-digit millions by the time they're done. How much of that cost is going to be borne by the franchisees and how much by the parent company?

It's a NASDAQ company with $1.7 billion in revenue last year, despite the fact that the pizza sucks. Of course, Donald Trump is President, so there's no accounting for taste.

What I find interesting is the social change this represents. Thirty years ago, this would never have happened.

What does this mean in the age of Trump? Is Trumpism really just the desperate last-gasp of a cultural artifact?

Is Papa John's only looking out for the bottom line or are corporate boards actually becoming more attentive to civility and decency nowadays?

Cardboard with sauce on it.

This guy is going to take this company all the way down. Better ingredients.....what a pile of BS. This guy thought he was going to get on the band wagon attacking black NFL players for free speech, and America is not the SEC. Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-a have good products which trump their political business stand, but selling an inferior pizza throughout the country and think you can weaponize politics to sell more inferior pizza......a doomed strategy from the git go.

If Papa John gets much more despised they'll edit Peter Brady out of old Brady Bunch episodes just because he looks kinda like him!

I boycott 'em because they're nasty vomit-pizza. That the owner's an a-hole is just bonus reason to hate 'em.

I think they push their delivery drivers, too. I had one run a stop sign in my neighborhood and almost hit me.
