Peyton Manning is setting a tone, according to Sports Illustrated, Manning has sold all 31 of his Papa John franchises. After CEO John Schnatter said the NFL protest was the reasoning behind declining sales, on January 1, he was removed as CEO.
Manning will still be making statements and or be supporting Papa Johns but he’s out when it comes to having stores in his name. Pizza Hut is now the official pizza for the NFL. The NFL has ended the partnership with Papa John’s as of February 26.
