Papa John's Pizza apologized Tuesday night for comments made by CEO John Schnatter blaming sluggish pizza sales on NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
The Louisville, Kentucky-based company is a major NFL sponsor and advertiser, and Schnatter said on an earnings call on Nov. 1 that "NFL leadership has hurt Papa John's shareholders" and that the protests "should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago."
The company tweeted a statement offering to "work with the players and league to find a positive way forward."

Any buffalo dish is better than crow.
I like buffalo burgers, buffalo medallions, and buffalo ground meat. The latter can be made into anything you can make regular ground beef into.
What is your beef with bison, or this is just bull?
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles?

Everything out there is junk food. If it’s over 350 calories I don’t eat it anymore. I’ve lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. If you want Pizza that won’t pack on the pounds try DIGiorno Thin & Crispy Tomato Mozarella with Pesto (White box) 350 calories oven prepped.z
Also, next time you buy a soda let it sit out overnight then drink it. Yummy sugar!
Apologizing for what? He said he wishes they nipped this in the bud earlier...a fair statement. Totally benign.
Suddenly you can’t even criticize the protests? Well guess what, their methods and their cause is utter horseshit. They don’t deserve an ounce of respect.
Do your buffalo burgers have some beef fat like venison burgers usually do or are they pure buffalo? What fern bar chains have buffalo on the menu? Moe’s and who else?
This guy is an idiot and deserves to lose his business. He’s already lost 24% of his customers, calling his pizza sales “sluggish” is a truly generous statement.
This moron had a golden opportunity to recoup is his losses and make gains but instead decided to double-down on stupid. All he had to do was cut loose the NFL publicly. What’s really sad is that the NFL probably didn’t make him an offer he couldn’t refuse, they probably sent goons over to threaten him, that’s how they roll.
I thought you had the courage to do what’s right, John, I really did. Now all you’re going to do is fade into bankruptcy.
They are made from PURE Canadian Bison. Canadians never lie! (Except for the Trudeaus.)
I am originally from New York and the only pizza I will eat is Gino’s (local pizzeria), LOL!
15 pounds in 3 weeks? Great!!
