No other brand name has been more synonymous with the NFL over the years, than Papa John’s. However, that bond might soon break, as the pizza giant let the NFL know that the league’s 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 John’s had expressed concerns with the league. Further, Lockhart said that other top sponsors have expressed similar concerns as the NFL’s TV ratings slump and political battles play out in the league.”

‘Bout time the sponsors got involved!!

The sponsors are only getting involved now, because the protests are hurting their bottom line.

Where were they when the rest of us first reacted to this crap?

"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." Well, he's made his bed, and now he can continue to loose sales and lay in it, or take a hit, get out of his deal with the NFL and continue to build his business with out them. I just went to Papa John's website and told him if he wanted my business back, he'd do the right thing and nix his NFL business deal≥

The Papa John guy should make some ads which underscore his patriotism and support of the country. Make his opinions known to all America.
