Pizza chain Papa John's will end its sponsorship deal with the NFL next season, after years of being "the official pizza of the NFL."
The end of the pizza chain's sponsorship comes two months after Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter stepped down amid controversy over remarks he made about NFL players' protests during the national anthem hurting the company's business.
The announcement was reported first by Fox Business Network's Charles Gasparino before being confirmed in an earnings call with the company's investors Tuesday afternoon.
In a statement to media, the two organizations announced that the business relationship would shift to individual relationships with local NFL teams and personalities.
But don't shed too many tears for papa John's.
After all they are still the preferred pizza of white supremacists.
Of course the worst thing about Papa John's is that it's just shitty pizza.
In my opinion the racists are welcome to it.
