Not saying it doesn’t happen, but are people actually boycotting papa johns because of the nfl year? It’s delivery pizza, who actually cares that much

Well if people are so easily moved by advertising, why wouldn't negative advertising affect a business.

Papa Johns with Peyton Manning is more linked to NFL football than any other corporate sponsor.

So if people have choices, and they have a ton...why order from Papa Johns if you don't want to?

Because maybe it sends a message to the NFL - Papa Johns seems to be sending an S.O.S. to the NFL. Isn't that how it works? Hit them where it hurts, in the pocket?

Papa Johns is an easy target because of all those incessant Peyton Manning commercials.

But I mean, reality - if people really wanted to punish NFL advertisers and thereby the NFL...they would stop drinking Budweiser.
