Peyton would be nothing in football without his offensive line and team mates and likewise would be nothing at Papa Johns without his pizza makers. Hope he has ALL OF HIS TEAM MEMBERS covered.

I'm talking about John Schnatter, a registered Republican, who was extremely supportive of Mitt Romney, invited Romney into his 25,000 square foot mansion during the 2012 campaign, hosted fundraisers for Romney, contributed $120,000 to Romney and the RNC, and who used his high profile position as Papa John CEO to criticize Obamacare. I don't care if it made business sense, if I had Peyton Manning's money, I would take my money elsewhere and I wouldn't invest in or associate myself with a fucking piece of shit like John Schnatter as a matter of principle. Unless I was one myself.

Like the author of post #7 said, Peyton Manning is most likely a Republican. If he is not, he probably did the ad series for the money. It seems that some athletes and entertainers never have enough money to turn down an endorsement deal.

This will be the first year ever that I won't be watching the Superbowl. In my view the NFL brand is tarnished, perhaps corrupt.
