I could boycott Starbucks cause the owner is a crazy liberal...but they make coffee I like. The politics of business owners isn't that damn important to me.

If you answered C, you are correct! His name and influence comes from pizza. It's why we know who he is. Thus, he is using his pizza to push his political beliefs.

To be fair, I think he's upset that people pushing their political beliefs are hurting his pizza sales.

Or, again, that's his front for his flagging pizza sales. I still think it's misdirection.
Everything is misdirection.

What it probably really is is him trying to get patriotic people to buy his pizza by implying those attacking our beloved flag are hurting him personally.

Or something. I don't know. I haven't dabbled in market research for a while.
The idea seems to be that the NFL boycotts are the direct reason, not the protests. Both Libs and Cons are at fault in this theory but Yum Brands has reported that Pizza Hut isn't seeing the same drop in sales so, that kinda throws that theory out.

Another theory I saw was that the NFL players in Papa John's ads are either retired or hurt and not playing. But really, if I'm hungry and I see an ad for something good, I don't really care who is in the ad.

I don't eat Papa John's because the reasons I stated before but also, no one in my house really likes Papa John's pizza, we do drive far enough to a local place that we could easily drive to a Papa John's in the same distance. Maybe local pizza places have better pizza.

I also don't appreciate homophobia but I will occasionally eat Chik-fil-a. *Shrug*

It's a pizza place and whether you agree with his politics or not doesn't' effect the pizza.

I will gladly sell out to any political idea or platform for the right price. I would fit right in Congress.

I'm not the best person to be speaking to the entire nation about politics, neither is Schnatter because he made some pizza. Neither are any of you.
The papa johns guy is pissed because the NFL refuses to fix the ratings problem by forcing the players to kneel. Viewership is falling off a cliff, and it's specifically because no one wants to watch a bunch of sports stars whine about how they have it so bad.
Well, for one it's football. It's been the same ***since the 40's, it's gotten boring. Secondly, this kneeling thing wasn't a big deal untill the media started making a fuss about it.

*** it, I say we also blame Hillary for her part in this.

But, what did Hillary do to cause this?!

Well, what did she do to stop it? #MAGA

Should check Papa John's sales figures in Western Pennsylvania.

I promise you that the vast majority of Steelers fans aren't tuning out.

I blame Herman Cain for either tricking conservatives into believing pizza moguls know a thing or two about politics and economics; or tricking pizza moguls into thinking they can convince conservatives they know about economics and politics.

Trump eats his pizza crust first time to impeach !

He already cast his lot with Pizza Hut.

And they’re up 1% this quarter, exceeding their expected growth.

Connection??!! Probably not.

No wonder you have cognition issues...

That kind of logic has killed over a hundred million humans in the past century.

I still fail to see how that's any different from using sports, movies, retail, food, or any of the bajillion other businesses that are the platform for politically motivated soapboxes. It sounds like you're just mad that it's not a liberal soapbox.

Liberals are the only ones allowed to speak their opinions. Only their opinions shall be heard and anyone disagreeing or speaking different opinions should be shamed and silenced.

Sounds like some pretty dark communist countries right there.
