Even shitty fast food pizza isn't immune from getting political in 2017.
Papa John's CEO John Schnatter blamed the NFL and Desperate Housewives XXX Porn Parodyrecent protests surrounding the national anthem for its slumping sales. The company said that it's the NFL's largest sponsor, but people really didn't buy the excuse.
While plenty of people piled on to remind Papa John's that its so-called "pizza" is astronomically inferior to other options, others noted that it's not just their product that's doing the brand damage, considering Schnatter is a vocal Trump supporter and has a history of PR nightmares. But what happened next was quite extraordinary.

(It should be noted that Pizza Hut has no current affiliation with the NFL.)
While probably unintentional, the comment basically politicized pizza, with supporters on the right backing Papa John's, and liberals on the left rallying behind Pizza Hut.

Still, some noted that this whole thing is a bit ridiculous, and is yet another distraction from Colin Kaepernick's original point in the protest.
