guess who owns over 100 Papa Johns Restaurants [View all]

Is this the pizza phase of Jerry Jones’ plan?

There are rumblings that the Cowboys owner is behind the CEO of Papa John’s calling out NFL leadership Wednesday, when John Schnatter blamed declining Papa John’s stock on the NFL’s national anthem protests.

Pro Football Talk, in a juicy (saucy?) story, reported the whispers in league circles about whether Jones had put Schnatter up to the Roger Goodell hit job during the company’s third-quarter earnings conference call.

Papa John’s has been the official pizza sponsor of the NFL since 2010 and has strong ties to the Cowboys, having been the official pizza sponsor of the team since 2004. Jones owns more than 100 Papa John’s franchises in Texas, according to D Magazine, and has appeared in a truly awful rap commercial for the chain.
