Stand or Nah?

None of the above—but Papa John's is the worst of the four. If the anthem protests bring that monster down, it'd be a boon for all pizza-eating humanity.

You've clearly never eaten a "hot-n-ready" from Little Caesar's.
 
How is that even possible?

Since I left the Florida Panhandle, I've always lived in cities or towns with sufficient local 'za purveyors that I'd never have cause.

Chicago has a plethora of its own, superior chains (ranging from somewhat large to two-locations small), alongside many excellent one-off shops that diversify the deep-dish and cracker-crust/tavern-style themes that predominate the urban chains. Here in Missoula, there are plenty of mom-and-pops that cater to the University crowd with far superior, price-competitive pizza, ranging from the basics to the sort of beets-and-balsamic haute 'za hipster bull**** that my degustation craves. Even the relatively-unpopulated Verde Valley, AZ, had a small gamut of surprisingly solid pizza offerings that allowed me to eschew the chains. (Plus I'm pretty decent at making my own dough—and my surname does end in a vowel.)

Last week, Papa John’s founder John Schnatter said his company was pulling some advertising from NFL games because player protests were making it harder to sell pizza. It later emerged that Papa John’s was simply removing the NFL’s logo from some of its marketing, not withdrawing television ads. Schnatter’s outrage was essentially one part action, two parts bluster.

Based on comments from NBCUniversal executive Linda Yaccarino in a chat moderated by AdAge on Friday, it sounds like Papa John’s isn’t alone in that approach. Yaccarino, NBCU’s chairman of advertising sales and client partnerships, said no advertisers have pulled their spots but several have threatened to. Via AdAge:

Yaccarino … said that none of NBCUniversal’s NFL advertisers have pulled out of NBC’s Sunday Night Football or Thursday Night Football games. However, a “list of advertisers have made themselves very clear: if you continue covering the political coverage of the issue, we will not be part of the NFL,” she said. “Because think about it: they have half the country that is cheering about that, and they have half the country that is emailing them, saying, don’t do that. So that’s a real thing.”
 
Maybe this is a better example of what systemic racism is and how police manipulate enforcement of the law to target black people.


We have umpteen million laws and many are vague enough to apply to anything. Is there any among you that believes cops give tickets in poor black neighborhoods for jaywalking and various other minor violations because they care about saving the lives of poor black people? What sense does it make to specifically target poor people to give tickets to. People who a 62$ fine for jaywalking might be full days work.

Just in case you think this is an isolated incident here is a study I know I have posted before. They can only get away with this because people bury their head in the ground rather than deal with the problem.
