Papa John’s officials say the NFL anthem protests are hurting the company’s pizza sales.

“The NFL has hurt us,” company founder and CEO John Schnatter said, according to ESPN.

“We are disappointed the NFL and its leadership did not resolve this.”

Papa John’s, the official pizza company of the NFL, has a deal with the league and with 23 teams.
