Why The Alt-Right Now Loves Papa Johns
White supremacists are talking about making it their official pizza.
By Luke OBrien
Papa Johns founder and CEO John Schnatter got cheesed off about the NFL kneeling controversy on a conference call with investors on Wednesday, and by Thursday his product was being held up by the worlds most influential neo-Nazi site as the potential pizza of choice for the alt-right.
Once The Daily Stormer decides to embrace a brand, the entire white supremacist community tends to jump in. It has happened before with New Balance, with Wendys.
Now it might happen to Papa Johns, after Schnatter decided on Wednesday to publicly re-evaluate his companys relationship with the NFL, whose ratings are down this year. In particular, Schnatter had had enough of the league allowing its players to kneel during the national anthem.
The NFL has hurt us by not resolving the current debacle to the players and owners satisfaction, he said, staggering into the national spotlight as if it were last call at a whiskey bar in Louisville, Papa Johns home turf. The NFL has hurt Papa Johns shareholders.

And they can reduce the product line to one. Papa John's All-Cheese, All-White Pizza.

(82,849 posts)Both Schnatter and Trump are just so totally not racist, and yet all these racists just seem to flock to them. It's just the darnedest thing anyone's ever seen. Why would racists be drawn to Schnatter and Trump like that? Because they're both just totally not racist. Someone should get a grant to study this.

(100,068 posts)"That we make our pizza restaurants a place where teh evil libtards will be triggered if they enter! Because they need safe spaces which are for children. And it starts with better kek, better keks. Pepe Johns is made by cuckservatives and for cuckservatives. No others need apply! It's all about quality for our people, who have been silenced by the libtard media because our voices aren't heard! Which is why many of us work jobs for Pepe Johns! Oh wait, we sell pizza don't we?"

(2,679 posts)I have NEVER liked papa john's. I didn't boycott it just didn't order it. Then the owners rant about the ACA happened. So then I boycotted. Of course people asked why I refused to order from papa john's. And I would explain about how the owner doesn't think he should provide health care insurance for his employees and still make money. So he was raising the price of pizza's so we the customers pay for his employees access to health care insurance.
But now, no lengthy explanations. Instead like that dude from that choice hotel commercial, four words for him, bad-da bing bad-da book. Two words for me, Nazi Pizza! Who in their fucking right mind would want to order pizza from Nazi's?
