NFL: NFL, Papa John's end agreement

[BigMac1212]

Sort of off topic, but it does deserve its thread:

Papa John's, NFL make 'mutual decision' to end sponsorship deal

My parent's order via my account a ton of Papa John's pizza when the local pro & ASU teams either win or the teams are on gameday. I haven't ordered from the chain for any of the NFL promotions, but after last season, this is a big blow for Papa John's.

If another nationwide chain is to step into Papa John's void, who would you want? I want Pizza Hut because one is just walking distance from my house.

Discuss.

I have no idea why I should care about this or why CNN decided it was breaking news.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Slow NFL news day.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I'd rather talk about hand size and dancing bears.

All interesting news, it's like @spintheblackcircle alluded to in his post times are changing. That is happening in the NFL. Let's see how the NFL reacts to that.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

React to what?

Times are a changing and it looks like the NFL is navigating changes very well overall from business perspective

 

[Voight]

The official pizza of the NFL has 0 bearing on where I order from.

 

[John Price]

Pizza Hut is garbage.

 

[What the Faulk]

Newsflash: they're all garbage.

 

[John Price]

Newsflash: they're all garbage.

Pizza hut is most Garbage though.

Um, this is a sore subject for me right now because if I'm gonna eat pizza (which isn't that often), it's gonna be local, and my favorite place in Chapel Hill (and the best late-night pizza I've ever had) closed in December. I am devastated.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Papa Johns pizza is nasty.

Pizza Hut is the only chain one I’d go to but most of the time, I go local.

Is it worth saving the $5 to go to a shitty chain pizza place than a local Italian parlor?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Pizza is best when bought from places that aren't chains

 

[Troy McClure]

Is it worth saving the $5 to go to a ****ty chain pizza place than a local Italian parlor?

If you have kids, yes. There's no point paying anything more for children who don't know the difference between good and bad pizza.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Not to mention its often more then $5 your saving

Real Pizza can usually be $5-10 more then fast food pizza of comparable size when your talking about large or xl pizza's

But you should teach your kids what good food is so they know the difference between good food and trash. I didn't grow up with a ton of money but my parents never gave me chain pizza. Maybe it's just a New York thing since no one else knows how to make pizza.

I feel like one large fast food pizza isn't enough for a family so they buy 2 anyway.

Pizza Hut once had the cheese-filled crust that was so awesome.

I've never hated Papa John's though. I liked their garlic sauce.

I thought this happened back in Dec 18 when the protest happened

It's official:

Pizza Hut replaces Papa John's as the NFL's official sponsor

Even though my family order Papa John's thanks to the local sports teams' deals with Papa, I grew up on Pizza Hut, and there is a Hut location within walking distance to my house. This is a win-win for me.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Jay is stoked on Pizza Hut.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Anything that means less Peyton Manning commercials, I'm in favor of.

No impact on the NFL since they were able to replace Papa John's right away with the Hut.

Papa John's will have to see how it impacts their bottom line. Do they still come out the same profit wise with the lower advertising costs and potential lower sales or will the bottom line take a hit?

They've been a sponsor for a few years now, so they are very well known.

I used their Monday promo several times during the season and I'm sure that they will continue that promo code during the NFL season, just need to change the promo code to remove "NFL" and change it to "FB" or something.
