Trifecta: The NFL, Mediocre Pizza and Trump

Filed in National, Sports by on November 4, 2017

I dislike all three, so I’m a winner no matter who loses.

This starts with the mediocre pizza made by jock-sniffing conservative pizza magnate “Papa” John Schnatter. He caused a stir the other day by criticizing the National Football League — kind of a dick move considering Papa John’s is the NFL’s official pizza. The league, he said, showed poor leadership by not nipping the anthem protests in the bud 18 months ago. If this sounds familiar, know that Schnatter is a Trump supporter.

Backlash against his criticism came quickly and from various quarters, but at least there’s a silver lining for Schnatter: The racists at the Daily Stormer want to adopt Papa John’s as the official pizza of the alt-right. Don’t spill tomato sauce on your sheets, boys!

    I’ve never (knowingly) had John Schnatter’s crappy chain store pizza . Yuengling & Sons beer also. Fuck those right wing fuckers.

  2. Let us not forget the crocodile tears that Schnatter shed when confronted with the spectre of Obamacare:

    You know why his pizza prices aren’t lower? He spends gazillions on advertising to push his crappy pizza on the unsuspecting proletariat.

    Oh, and Jim Nantz is ALSO an asshole.

    I can speak personally to Jim Nantz being an asshole. He carried water for the CBS smear of my wife back in the day.

  4. Whether it’s on golf or the NFL, he always cozies up to the wealthy and connected.
