I would definitely use this if we had Papa Johns here, 50% off is a huge discount.

No. No, no, no. Also, while this is a funny idea, and a great opportunity for the company, why is this showing up for people who turned off all SC2 related content? It has nothing to do with dota2, only SC2 and LoL, two games I don't care about.. T_T

TL and EG don't have Dota teams? When did this happen?


They do.. but look at what happens at each individual level and tell me how often you read the word "Dota", "Dota2" or anything related to either of the games. I'd prefer to forget about the existence of SC2, hence why I disabled everything about it..

Wow I can't believe they didn't tailor their announcement directly to your unpopular and particular opinions. What assholes. If you don't like it you don't have to support it.

You have a multi-billion dollar company which is willing to dip its toes into e-sports. That is fantastic!
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.


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.


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.


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.

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?


I'm bringing up other companies because people are not applying the same standards to them that they are applying to Papa John's. If Papa John's crosses the line of being too evil to support for some people, then those people must be incredibly careful about vetting every product they buy because a great many companies are over that line.

I'm not trying to appear above this, I'm just frustrated by people shitting over a good step forward for eSports with the flimsiest faux outrage. Trying to take the moral high ground when they don't actually give a fuck about the morals behind the products they buy, just jumping on a media instigated bandwagon. It's a joke.

And some of the justifications are even more ridiculous. "Oh yeah other companies may do shit 100x worse but Papa John's are openly being cunts, that clearly makes them so much worse"


Yes, there are other companies that do fucked up shit, no we can't correct every injustice in the world, and no we can't vet every single company we encounter in our daily lives. This doesn't mean that people like myself who don't support X Company like Papa John's can't try to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak.

No one on this forum is naive enough to believe that their 20 bucks is going to make a difference in anything this company decides to do. It's living life by a personal creed and sticking to something that you do believe in.

I'm glad others are spending their money where they want to and supporting the causes they want to. I just choose to sit this one out. Think of it like buying one TL T-shirt instead of buying all of them.

Can't help you there, but I am pretty sure this is supporting both SC2 and Dota, as they both have teams for each game.

I just don't get why people are treating Papa Johns and other sponsors like they're doing us a favor. They're doing these things because they profit from it, right?

good for the teams involved, and glad to see some mainstream sponsors coming out with this level of support. I may not always stand behind papa johns for their political agendas but you can't hate them at least for doing this.
I now have autographs of both BoxeR and NaDa. I can die happy. Lim Yo Hwan and Lee Yun Yeol FIGHTING forever!

Are you really not aware that Eg and TL have dota teams?

And Aysee is one of the choices, a dota 2 commentator for the Raidcall D2L....

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


No, I'm saying that pushing a political agenda against lower-class and minorities publicly is disgusting and doesn't help their business at all. In fact, it's already destroying their business. See article below:

Forbes Article on Papa Johns



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.



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.


people with half a mind like you will always be ignored anyway because any logic destroys their arguments for silly stances and they don't like being proven wrong.
