Papa John's pleads for Nazis to not buy their pizza after Daily Stormer endorsement

Sure thing buddy
- Tomato-sauce-on-cardboard slanger complains about poor sales, links them directly to NFL protesters
- NFL protesters are 99.9% black men
- NFL protesters are protesting about police brutality against black people
That's a strange leap in logic. As far as business goes, yeah, these protests did hurt the NFL. Could be for racism, I dunno, but Papa Johns had a massive deal with the NFL so it makes sense that he'd cite that as a reason for declining sales.
It's very likely that Papa Johns is just suffering due to competition but who really knows.
Also, the endorsement from the racists is trolling. They claimed the WSJ as their favorite news site over the PewDiePie thing.
Is it? Is it really?
I know it's difficult to for certain folks to recognize racist behaviour unless it's engaging with full-on hoods and/or tiki torches, but dog whistling is a thing.
Racism is broad, wide-reaching, engrained into our culture, and deeply systemic. To not notice "shades of gray" racism and blatant dog whistling is some woeful ignorance, or just a general acceptance of your average every day racism.
I don't think it's trolling. We've got losers on the internet showing off how patriotic they are by buying PJs pizza. It's much more simply they found someone that shares the same "viewpoints" and latching onto to a legitimate business so they can be taken seriously.
Well, I still haven't eaten at Chick Fil A since 2012, and I love CFA food.
Ignoring Papa John's is gonna be a breeze.

What part of Papa John's statement was dog whistling? If they were doing that why would they now condemn such groups?
Try to save their rumps? Dogwhistles are only sypposed to be picked up by dogs. Their pitch wasnt high enough.
I think the dogwhistle was saying the leaders should have nipped it in the bud, in the context of the protests leading to lower viewership.
How do you think schnetter, a trumper, would propose nipping it in the bud?
Maybe it's not dog whistling, just people reading too much into a statement of why they believed (or at least want us to believe) that their sales have been declining. Saying "this thing is affecting our sales" and getting "we don't care about black people" is a stretch.
If he makes all their pizza's swastika shaped maybe he could pay his employees $15/hour from the ingredient savings.
You didnt answer my question. How could it have been nipped in the bud? How do you think trump jones and scnatter might think it could be solved lol.
Seems obvious to me.
Nah, that would hit his bottom line too hard. Better to see employees pull themselves up by their minimum wage boot straps than pay them a living wage. I'm sure they'll all thank him personally when they are all millionaires making bank off the backs of the poor.
It's hard to not read into someone who is as big a trump supporter like this guy though. Do you expect past shitty behavior to just be ignored and give this guy the benefit of the doubt? What's the point of defending a pizza chain anyway.
Daily Stormer, the Mecca of neo Nazi white nationalist scum endorses Papa Johns as the pizza of choice for white nationalist because of the CEOs remarks.
People come into thread with "I don't see the racism"
*Boggles*
Naw, no racism. Nazis just REALLY love garlic butter sauce and peppers.

That about sums it up for what Papa John's and these other racists are upset about.
lol seriously. This story isn't even about people giving Papa John's shit for condemning the NFL, Nazis are literally endorsing his pizza.
I am so happy somebody got this reference.
"maybe it's something else! anything but racism! Lord knows we can't throw that word around willy-nilly!"
Nah, the founder's track record and words are proof positive. I mean, you can tapdance for him all you like, but sometimes
sometimes
sometimes you have to believe people when they tell you who they are.
The dogwhistle may be the stretch of reason made by the CEO who claimed that a protest against something unrelated to their business is a primary cause negatively impacting their sales. To put it another way, the CEO's statement appears to be an unsubstantiated and politically motivated attempt to use his influence to support the position of silencing protests against racism.
Yeah, "Pepe John's" (lol!) deserves any backlash heading their way. I'm not sure how you see it as anything other than racism. I'm just glad he's finally experiencing some repercussions.
He could just have shut the fuck up about the protest.
He literally said it should have been "nipped in the bud" which is the same language of "prisoners running the prison" and "throw those sons of bitches out".
Why are there so many pictures I can't see that just say
I don't know. This is happening to me too. I can't even click the broken image and open it into a new tab or anything. It's clear other people can see it but I cannot. Lots of avatars don't load either. They're just empty frames.
Pepe Johns... wow did anyone make a banner with this yet? They'd literally get destroyed.
