THE CEO OF PAPA JOHN'S IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS THAT
THEIR THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS WERE NOT SO GREAT.
IN
FACT:
HE SHOULD'VE JUST SQUASHED IT
IMMEDIATELY AND STOPPED THE
PLAYERS FROM KNEELING AND THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY PEOPLE
ARE NOT BUYING HIS PIZZA.
THIS GUY IS A REPUBLICAN.
HE PALS AROUND WITH PEYTON MANNING.
YOU KNOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT AND THIS IS THE SAME PARTY THAT
BELIEVES IN PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
IT IS SO GOOD.
IT IS NOT THAT MY PIECE OF SOCKS OR THAT THE ONLY REASON
THAT PEOPLE BUY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC GARLIC BUTTER
THAT WE ALL SEEM TO ENJOYED OUR.
IT IS SO GOOD THOUGH.
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST ON THIS WITH THE AUDIENCE, I LIKE
PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA, NOT THE CEO.
OUR JOB IS TO BE HONEST AND I DO NOT LIKE THE PIZZA AT ALL.
IT IS SUPER MEDIOCRE, BUT THE BUTTER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BUTTER.
IT IS NOT BUTTER.
BUT IT IS GOOD.
ANYWAY SO LOOK INTO MAKING YOUR PIZZA
BETTER OR MAYBE YOUR BUSINESS PRACTICES.
NO, NEVER PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY.
IT IS THOSE DAMN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PLAYERS
WHO CARE ABOUT GETTING SHOT BY COPS WRONGLY.
IF ONLY THEY
WOULD STOP GETTING SHOT.
THEY WANT TO STOP GETTING SHOT.
WHY DON'T THEY
JUST SHUT UP COMPLAINING ABOUT INJUSTICE AND HOW PEOPLE
ARE GETTING KILLED IN THE WRONG WAYS.
YOU ARE COSTING ME PIZZA SALES.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT BLACK PEOPLE WON'T GET BLAMED FOR?
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY ARE THE REASON WHY PAPA JOHN'S IS NOT
SELLING AS MANY PIZZAS AS IT WANTS TO OR SHOULD.
IT IS
AMAZING.
SO LET ME GIVE ME THE CEO'S EXACT QUOTES DURING THIS
CONFERENCE CALL.
HE SAID:
THAT'S IT, I AM DONE WITH PAPA JOHN'S.
I'M SERIOUS.
I DID THE
CHICK-FILA-A BAN BECAUSE VIEWS ON LGBT COMMUNITY.
THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE I FOUND THAT ARE SECRETLY WATING THERE
BUT I'VE HELD STRONG.
AND I AM A MAN THAT CARES ABOUT FOOD.
YOU
ARE GOING TO BLAME PEOPLE RIGHTFULLY LOOKING TO CHANGE THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM SO IT IS MORE JUST TO ALL AMERICANS FOR
YOUR LACK OF BUSINESS SENSE?
KNOW, YOU ARE PUTTING ALL OF YOUR AD ON TV.
YOU ARE
OVERPAYING PEYTON MANNING AND THE TV NETWORKS AND NOT THAT
MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING TV ANYMORE BUT YOU ARE TOO STUPID
TO FIGURE OUT DIGITAL SO YOU RELY, I DO NOT KNOW.
LET'S DO WHAT ALL REPUBLICANS DO.
LET'S BLAME BLACK PEOPLE.
WHY DO THEY CARE ABOUT JUSTICE SO MUCH WHEN THEY SHOULD BE
FORCED TO BUY OUR PIZZAS.
THERE'S ONE OTHER FACTOR THAT I THINK WE'RE MISSING.
THIS IS
NOT A PAID SPONSORSHIP SO I AM NOT DOING THIS AS AN AD.
I WANT TO
BE CLEAR.
DOMINO'S STEPPED UP ITS GAME.
DOMINO'S IS DELICIOUS AND MY FAVORITE PIZZA CHAIN IN THE
COUNTRY.
I THINK THE LINE IS THAT HE THINKS BECAUSE THERE IS BOYCOTT
ON THE NFL BECAUSE OF WHY PEOPLE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
ONLY PEOPLE WHO EAT HIS PIZZAS, THEY ARE NOT WATCHING THE NFL
BECAUSE OF THE BOYCOTTS, THE KNEELING IS TURNING OFF ALL MY
WHITE CUSTOMERS IN ALL MY WHY CUSTOMERS ARE SEEING MY ADS
ANYMORE DURING FOOTBALL GAMES AND NOW THAT NOT BUYING MY
PIZZAS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT REMINDED BY MY PIZZAS
ANYMORE BUT THEN YOU HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE ALSO BOYCOTTING
THE OTHER WAY AND THEY'RE NOT WATCHING BECAUSE OF HOW
COLIN KAEPERNICK GOT OUSTED SO IS THAT THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE
IN SUPPORT OF COLIN KAEPERNICK'S PROCESS THAT ARE NOT BUYING YOUR
PROCESS CLUSTER KNOW, HE THINKS ONE-SIDED DIONYSIUS THESE FOLKS.
MY LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT WATCHING THE NFL, THAT
ARE NOT BUYING MY PIZZA SO THEREFORE THEY SHOULDN'T THIS
IN THE BUTT AND NOT ALLOW THEM TO WATCH MY COMMERCIALS ANYMORE.
SO WHETHER YOU WANT TO JOIN MY ONE-MAN BOYCOTT OR NOT,
I WOULD SAY THIS.
PAPA JOHN'S CLEARLY CARES MUCH MORE ABOUT THEIR PIZZA
SALES THAN THEY DO ABOUT THE INJUSTICE THAT
AFRICAN-AMERICANS LIVE WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.
OR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
AND ABOUT IS YOUR PRIORITY, THEN GO AHEAD AND BUY PAPA
JOHN'S BUT IF YOUR PRIORITIES ARE JUSTICE FOR ALL AMERICANS
AND YOU SEE HOW INDIFFERENT THIS COUNTRY IS TO THAT AND HOW THEY
ARE BLAMING YOU FOR THEIR OWN PROBLEMS, THEN IT IS NOT A
COMPANY WOULD ONCE GIVE MY MONEY TO.
