Papa Johns has literally did NOTHING but state opinions. Back in the 60s people boycotted businesses for denying services to non-whites not for expressing controversial opinions. Want to know why? Because people are entitled to their opinion. Papa Johns has never done anything heinous like that so you're basically just boycotting them for their opinions rather than their actions.

I don't know anything about Obamacare, so I won't comment on that but I heard it several times already that Papa John's is against gay people and I think this is some seriously wrong thinking. I approve every $ they put into E-Sports because it won't go into some weird anti-gay campaign or into the pocket of some anti-gay politician but I don't like them from what I heard.

People here have their opinions, that they're pro gay and shit but in real life, nothing they do reflects their opinions. People say shit (especially on TL/internet) just to stay relevant.

lol what?

I'm not one to start going crazy over CALL THE SPONSORS and such but this thread is disturbingly reactionary. If people object to the company on moral grounds then that's their right. What's all this psychoanalyzing BS about young people and liberals? Having a political opinion makes you a hivemind now?


He's saying that no one was complaining about PJ here on the SC2 forum, and rarely if ever in the General Forum. But now there's a lot of anger came "out of nowhere" and hence it looks (and is) a very bandwagon thing.


Probably because PJ had nothing to do with anything that was talked about here...

If someone just posted in sc2 gen a year ago "IF PJ EVER SPONSORS ESPORTS I WILL BE UPSET", they would look kinda silly...

I can understand if you boycot a company that fundamentally oposses your views. If representatives of the company discriminate your ethnicity, gender or beliefs or if they seriously hurt other people.
But the whole problem here seems to be about money issues (financing of healthcare). Is this really enough to shun companies?

They treat their workers like shit, just like so many other companies that I refuse to support for the same reason.

In general I don't support any of the major Pizza chains, all of their business practices are just horrid.

I will continue to not eat PJs, and let them spend there money on things I like. We don't have to support the sponsor to take the money do we?

iunno if papa johns is putting money into e-sports or not, but if they are then... someone for the mother of god please support Prime. T_T_T_T_T_T_T i know they are performing really poorly right now but they seriously need a morale boost. Being an extremely devoted athlete, i know what confidence and having a good morale can do for someone who is dedicated their life to something. You wouldn't believe how much it helps having confidence. I know these are American companies here we are talking about so it doesn't really relate to the korean teams (or maybe there is papa johns in korea?). T_T I'm praying so much Prime doesn't disband. JUST IMAGINE FXOMarineKing???!?!? StarTaleMarineKing!?!?!?!? CJ_MarineKing?!!!!? NOOO! IT HAS TO BE MARINEKINGPRIME T_T

Nope we don't.

That's the beauty of the consumer producer relationship. If you don't like a product--don't buy it.

TL's armchair neck bearded basement dwelling warriors are really coming out of the woodwork on this one. Proving once again TL has some of the most unsocial illogical weirdo's on the net. Do you even know why some of you are mad?
You do know US politics are fake right? If Papa johns wants to throw money @ esports. SO FUCKING BE IT. Am I pissed they don't support Obama care? Fuck no who gives a shit.

But you forget there's a whole half country of people that wouldn't agree with you. They weren't be assholes. They were expressing their opinion. Why don't we just put a muzzle on companies and prevent them from having opinions if it makes you feel better. Guess what guys? I'm a liberal, I'm for gay marriage and I'm for ObamaCare? Guess what? I still support Papa Johns because they don't discriminate and merely state opinions.

No, you don't understand, you can't be happy about this. And if you are, its clearly because your a blinded by the fools light of Esports. Anyone who is just excited that the teams got new sponsors is just fooling themselves and doesnt see the dark underbelly of........

pizza.

Does anyone have a source on papa johns being homophobic? I couldn't really find anything yet people keep reiterating that point.

Also this should probably be in the general forum
