what ridiculous? What is possibly going on is that Papa John’s declining sales had to do directly with him being a sponsor, which would have no negative effect on other pizza companies.

Pizza Hut embracing politics over bottom line.

Legitimate bottom line, that is.

Has anyone tried their stuff lately? I haven’t in years. Papa Johns was good the last time I tried.

Pizza Hut set themselves up for a colossal smackdown. This has taken stupid to a new level. I changed the channel immediately when the Denver Donkeys took a knee and have not tuned in to a MFL game since. I would not blame Pappa Johns who seems upset at the black pampers in the MFL, but pizza hut is not. Pizza hut, bye.

“We’re not seeing impact on any of that on our business,” Greg Creed, CEO of Yum Brands. “We weren’t seeing a lot of business before this, and we’re still pretty much the same after.”

...is what he meant to say.

Pizza Slut should have kept its cardboard cheese mouth shut. Suspect they will have a decline now. SO be it.

I’d take Pizza Hut over Papa Greasy’s any day...but that’s just a personal preference.

“We’re not seeing impact on any of that on our business,” Greg Creed (said.)

Well, you will now.

There is a gas station in my town that has better pizza that either Pizza Hut or Papa Johns at half the price. Expect double the topping too.

Papa John’s pizza is 10 times better than Pizza Hut. Little expensive though.
