Papa John is Pissed

[A.E]

Papa John's CEO John Schnatter blasted the NFL during a conference call to discuss 3rd quarter earnings... or lack there of. Schnatter threw many of his eggs into the NFL basket a couple years ago and its not paying off.
 
Papa John's stock is down almost $7 and their sales targets aren't meeting expectations. Schnatter blames the league's issue with anthem protests, declining ratings, and failure to "keep small kitchen fire from engulfing the whole house". They are pulling ads and will begin to distance the company from the league.
 
If it keeps Peyton Manning off my TV, I'm okay with it. Rage on Papa John.

Thought it was great the first couple times I'd had it many years ago. Feel like people are just over it. There's not much they can do different with their pizza. They also franchised the shit out of the brand quick. 
 
Much like the NFL, Papa John over-saturated the marketplace and diluted the product.

I enjoy Papa Johns pizza. It seems as if I'm the only one on the interwebs that does so.

I live about 25 mins from Louisville and I swear, people here don't really care for Papa Johns. 
 
According to Forbes, the company JUST lost $70 million in less than 24 hours after releasing their third quarter finances. Investors are bailing quick. I'd count on your local Papa Johns to be out of business sooner than later.

Facts. I get the craving for Pizza Hut once in a while and after like 2 slices I'm reminded why I never eat there. And I think I'd rather eat dirt than Dominoes.

See I can't do Pizza Hut b/c the damn crust is disgusting. I don't mind Dominos thin crust pizzas. Cheap, chain pizza for me has to be Little Caesar's. I got kids man and $5 for a large pizza is the shit.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Little Caesar's is worse than all of them!!

 

[Teagz]

I actually don't hate Little Caesar's, but I feel like it's probably only good in Michigan and the further away from here you get, the worse the quality is.

I like Little Caesars as long as it's hot, but once it's not it's crap. I'm with Teagz, I'll crave Pizza Hut then remember why I don't get their pizza often.

Gotta have thin crust from those chains or the pizza is terrible

I had pizza hut once when I was 10.

That's pretty much the only fast food pizza I've ever had.

hahahahahahhahahaha

Their stock dropped 10%. Wow.

 

[A.E]

They lost $70 million after posting dismal third-quarter earnings. I'm sure bashing the NFL didn't help, but investors bailed at an alarming rate after seeing such a steep decline.

The chain can fail but we need that pizza seasoning to live on
