Papa John's Blames NFL Controversy For Weak Sales
- Associated Press, Thursday, November 2, 2017 7:27 AM
Sales growth at Papa John’s is slowing, and the pizza chain is blaming it on the outcry surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. The company, which is a sponsor and advertiser of the NFL, said customers have a negative view of the chain’s association with the NFL. The company also cut its earnings growth expectations for the year and Papa John’s stock fell about 10% Wednesday.
