Papa John's Adopted by White Supremacists as Their Official Pizza

Oh, Papa John's, what are we going to do with you? Now that white supremacists have officially adopted you seems like things have formally gone left.

The chain pizza company has been under scrutiny after the CEO, John Schnatter, blamed the NFL for it's falling sales, “The NFL has hurt us. We are disappointed the NFL, and its leadership did not resolve this. The controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country. Leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership."

Schnatter went on to say that “we expect [a decline in sales] to persist unless a solution is put in place.”

Well, after that statement, Schnatter received the support of the white supremacists by way of columnist, Adrian Sol. Sol, a columnist for The Daily Storm, wrote a piece very much filled with unnecessary racist slander. The article had the caption, “Papa John: Official pizza of the alt-right?” And Sol stated things like:

“This might be the first time ever in modern history that a major institution is going to be completely destroyed explicitly because of public outrage over their anti-White agenda."

Papa John's started to go back on Schnatter's statement after realizing that neo-Nazis were "adopting" them:

“We condemn racism in all forms and any and all hate groups that support it,” Papa John’s senior director of public relations told The Huffington Post in an exclusive statement. “We do not want these individuals or groups to buy our pizza.”

Well, whether Papa John's wants neo-Nazis to back them or not, at this point they have a lot of damage control to do.
