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
I'm not sure how relevant corporate ethics are in a sponsorship announcement thread so if a mod tells me to shutup I will but but not tolerating people for the things they do and say isn’t the same as hating people for what they are. This whole "you're being intolerant of my intolerance" fallacy is old hat and I REALLY wish it was warning worthy because it's one of the most overused and braindead "arguments" I've ever seen on the internet.

Get informed yourself. If you see Papa John's as the epitome of corporate evil then you are ignorant and naive beyond belief. Have you ever purchased anything linked to Nestlé? You most probably have, even if you don't realize it. They have done far, far more despicable things than Papa John's. And they are far from the only example.
Trying to take the moral high ground when it comes to this specific company and then ignoring all the others only demonstrates how well the media can whip people up into a frenzy and how little people actually care about the morality of such organizations.

Where was Papa John's anti gay? I know Chik-fil-A said some dumb shit but I never heard anything homophobic from PJ's.

Are you dense? Papa John's is doing the promotion, why would they bring up other companies? Why are you trying so hard to appear above this?

Frankly, I'm getting real tired of this "ONLY US" bullshit. Canada is about as close as it gets.

Horrible rationale, diminishing what Papa John's is trying to do in the political arena by stating that "it's ok to preach screwing your employees because everyone else is doing it privately".

They aren't. People are just incredibly ignorant and like to circle jerk against papa johns but not any of the other companies that are far worse because hating papa johns is popular on le reddits.
I wish mods would start banning theses idiots.

CEO of Papa John's seems like a real prick, so even though I never eat it anyway I especially wouldn't do it after all that political shit. Some endorsement of ESPORTS doesn't change my mind.

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. 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? 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. It's one thing for a company to do it's business privately. It's entirely another to get on a soap box and push a political agenda publicly (i.e. trying to persuade people that fucking over employees and being anti-gay is a good thing). I find it funny how someone from Mexico cares more about this than people that live in the United States, why do you care and what are you trying to prove?
So you can care only for things that happen in your home country?

Their pizzas aren't too bad for a chain store. The garlic sauce and the pepper thing is nice. I used to like them better than Dominos until Dominos changed their recipe.

Excellent, I can justify my gluttony out of support for esports!
