Possibly the final Pizza Beef post

As the first comment on the Slice post on the Papa John's/Le Bron Crybaby kerfuffle indicates, it is tricky for a national
chain to get behind any athlete or team, on the grounds that more folks will be agin' it than fer it.

...as the Director of Marketing for a very large franchise with 28 of our stores in Ohio, we are deeply saddened by this judgement call that put all Papa John's stores in jeopardy. I hope that people will see this as something done without consent of every Papa John's owner. PJ Ohio stands firm and supports LeBron James. We are sorry this happened.

Once, not so long ago, Dunkin' Donuts was the Official Breakfast Sandwich of the New England Patriots. Now, instead of the sexy but polarizing Tom Brady, we have the preternaturally uncompelling Rachael Ray. But still, no PJ's owner has set up a rival location with a fake white supremacist message board. The same cannot be said for all  Subway locations.
