No other brand name has been more synonymous with the NFL over the years, than Papa Johns. However, that bond might soon break, as the pizza giant let the NFL know that the leagues anthem protests are killing their business. According to a report in the Sports Business Journal, in-game pizza sales have fallen off dramatically since President Trump blasted NFL protesters in September.
According to SBJ, NFL spokesperson Joe Lockhart confirmed to Sports Business Journal that Papa Johns had expressed concerns with the league. Further, Lockhart said that other top sponsors have expressed similar concerns as the NFLs TV ratings slump and political battles play out in the league.

NIKE: Nike supports athletes and their right to freedom of expression on issues that are of great importance to our society.
Most supportive.
I presume Rodger Goodell has been put on a suicide watch at this point. He can't survive the sponsors saying "we won't pay anymore".
Yuengling, OK, the rest enh. I don’t put fruit in my beer. How about a Stag?

I am involved with a company doing “opinion surveys” of consumers in order to target marketing campaigns, and I am seeing a lot of questions all of a sudden asking if the person being surveyed watches the NFL...they KNOW these protests are tanking their viewership and once the advertisers start pulling their money, the collapse of the League will not be far behind!
all the same company, now...
try craft beers.....preferably micro brewery crafts..
the NFL nonsense has allowed me to rediscover just how good the baseball World Series can be to watch on TV. I’m rooting for Huston.
Looks like Under Armour and Nike. Under Amrour stock has been in a serious decline for the last 3 years. It is down ~72%. for 3 years and ~50% YTD. Siding with NFL problems isn’t helping their bottom line.
Sounds like someone in PJ legal dropped the exit clause ball.
The chickens are coming home to roost. Trying to appeal to the Left with Lefty swill did not get them the boost in ticket sales they wanted. What happened was the opposite.
Along with the Sanity Clause ...
America’s oldest brewery, founded in 1829.
I'm pretty sure Budweiser holds that distinction.
I just ordered Papa Johns pizza and got a short survey by email. I rated their pizza a 10 but asked them why they would want to advertise on the NFL since they are becoming so unpatriotic!

I think the Papa John’s guy was a big Trump supporter. If so, it’s a shame he has become a victim of the NFL crybaby kneelers. He and his employees are innocent, but are paying a price for others’ bad acts.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who hated that idiotic phrase.
