I believe it's based on total number of pizzas purchased through this site. Once the community has bought enough pizzas, 25 people who purchased pizzas will randomly be selected to win a LoL skin. | ||

You think that kind of shit is anything unusual in the corporate world?

To single out Papa John's purely because it was recently under media scrutiny, are you that naive? Go digging and you will find dirt on just about every company. Better start vetting all of your purchases very, very carefully if Papa John's is where you draw the line. Especially because it was just comments by the CEO. By boycotting simply because of comments made by him you aren't really hurting him that much, he already has his millions. The people you are really hurting are the small time people who are running the stores/the employees working in those stores. These are the people who will feel the biggest impact if the business doesn't do well/goes under. | ||

However, this company's CEO has publicly stated they oppose a health-care plan in the USA (which is incredibly backwards), which is fundamentally an improvement of a very basic and necessary human right in a civilisation, because it might cost them five to eight million USD, which is barely a dent in their profits. All in the name of making the maximum profits, basic human needs be damned. This is not a company I am willing to support, no matter if they back e-sports, which while it is something I enjoy; e-sports is far less important than having the USA improve its health-care system. | ||

Everyone forgetting that this company is one of the most hated for stating that giving employess healthcare wasn't worth raising their prices 14 cents? Aware that the CEO is openly preaching anti-gay bullshit constantly? Really, TLO and Incontrol are going to support these vile inhuman scum? Any E-sport Pro who supports these scummers with the knowledge of what they're trying to do can sure as hell write me off their fan list. Please get informed, people. Link to Forbes Article | ||

So why Papa John's specifically? Just because it got some media attention? Do you vet every company you purchase from? Do you think Papa John's is significantly worse than the other places you get your food? Be consistent or drop the hypocritical idealism. | ||

Tier 8 - iNcontroL and TLO will switch teams for a week and act as head coaches in an EG vs. Liquid off-race showmatch Is this for real? This is my favorite part. | ||

This company is one the scummiest in North America towards it's employees, not to mention it's a company with a political agenda that has nothing to do with it's business.

Aware that the CEO is openly preaching anti-gay bullshit constantly? Really, TLO and Incontrol are going to support these vile inhuman scum? Please get informed, people. Link to Forbes Article For the record, almost every major company in America is trying to screw it's employees out of healthcare. Benefits have been dropping precipitously and it's nigh impossible to get a full time (and therefore benefits worthy) position at a company nowadays. Everyone is either contract or part-time. Papa John's was just dumb enough to be proud of it, but they aren't unique. | ||

Papa johns is one of the more virulently anti-healthcare, anti gay companies in the United States. They entered the political arena for absolutely no purpose other than to peddle a ideological agenda. Please get informed. | ||

Better start vetting all of your purchases very, very carefully if Papa John's is where you draw the line. i buy from a farmer's market co-op and stay away from businesses that have been on record to run sweatshops. i'm not saying that to be holier-than-thou, it's not that fucking hard to do research and make sure you're doing business with people who aren't excrement. because "oh, other companies do it too" isn't an excuse for an hourly wage of $4 or passing the costs of basic universal healthcare onto its workers. showing a blind eye to that because "lololo esports EG and TL told me to!" is a joke. the mentality that it's fine to just give people a pass on shitty business practices because it's commonplace is why companies and the banks have free reign to run the world into the ground. that's not even a politics viewpoint, that's a common sense viewpoint. and it's shitty pizza too, but i could write a wall of text on that if you guys buy papa john's just for this, that's cool, but you guys got duped hard | ||

I heard private companies are allowed to do what they want because they are... private independent companies with CEO's that have opinions of their own? You call them intolerant but to do so makes you intolerant of their opinions making you as intolerant as them | ||
