I'd made my displeasure with Papa John's pretty clear back when I questioned their traveling cheese vs plain cheese pricing. Strangely, it's drawn one of the largest responses with the majority of the comments coming from drivers or former drivers that all failed Reading Comprehension 101. I had to curb my snarkiness a few times, but I answered all of the responses. From that post until a few weeks ago I had avoided Papa like the plague.
Not long ago, Mr. Schnatter said something that made so much sense I was blown away. I even gave his pizza another try, although I won't make that mistake again. Not because of the following blog, but because I had ventured into some of the local pizza joints and found them so vastly superior- I didn't really miss the Papa. Also, I have this gluten issue now, but anyway- back to the morons at Papa John's Inc.
Mr.Schnatter commented that the moronic fools that were kneeling during the anthem (my words, not his) and the gutless weanies who allowed it were really hurting his pizza business. It makes sense, if the NFL cannot give seats away, who is watching? In short-not nearly as many people. If they don't watch- why do they need to order pizza or for that matter- even see his commercials?
As someone who decides media advertising myself- trust me, you want to get your money's worth. So Papa John spoke truth to power ( I love irony) and the sjw lost their minds. Papa was insensitive to poor people (which NFL player is that???) The company just doesn't get it.
So now Mr. Schnatter will no longer be the face of his own flippin' company. He's going to remain the CEO but will not be president of this temple to sjw whining.
We had a good run Papa. Never again. Think about it, you'll thank me later.
