Papa John’s CEO Has Some Strong Words For NFL Leadership

Papa John’s pizza had a pretty colorful earnings call today.

According to ESPN, Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter said during a conference call that the NFL was to blame for their slipping sales.

“The NFL has hurt us,” Schnatter said. “We are disappointed the NFL and its leadership did not resolve this.”

Schnatter was likely referring to the recent rash of National Anthem protests that’s swept through the National Football League and has left many franchises divided. Viewership has been in something of a free fall all season, as many fans have decided to boycott the increasingly political sport.

And since Papa Johns is the official pizza company of the NFL, Schnatter says the league is bringing pizza down with it.
