Papa John's pizza eats crow

You can read the quote from the CEO of Papa John's in links provided, but it's essentially a Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" and "please, please, buy my pizza."

[as seen on tv]

the NFL glorifies in (and profits from) a mix of product advertising:

• liquor
• fast food
• chips
• gas guzzling pickup trucks
• soft drinks

etc etc.

anyone who cares who advertises what, or bases their consumer purchases on NFL politics is an idiot who has too much time on their hands.

Their politics suck and their pizza is worse.

I'm not a big fan of 'fast food'........Greasy, unhealthy, over-priced, etc.

I have a more generic view of it. If you have to spend millions on TV trying to convince people to buy something, people should take a hard look at NOT buying that product or service.

That's not to say there aren't fine products that need advertising. But there's nothing fine about a greasy pizza where you have to pay Peyton Manning's huge endorsement fee.

No thanks, NFL.

Fortunately for the industry, some people like eating crap.....
