Papa Johns is not good.

Noticed Papa Johns are closing locations as well...closed two nearby and they were busy.

So Papa John’s pizzas have forced out Papa John for the crime of being a patriot !?
This is a sick joke

Is his feud with the Negro Felon League really the reason for his leaving?
I smell a huge amount of Fake News here.
However - political correctness may have infested Papa John’s and so he - the owner and founder - is out.

This is what happens when you make a stand. Then reverse yourself and apologize.
You piss everyone off that way.
