Papa John’s Is Sorry
The pizza chain has apologized to the Cavs organization for providing Wizards fans with t-shirts mocking LeBron James.

nice for cleveland, not nice for Papa Johns, the first time i saw those shirts i was surprised to see a chain donate those and not get burned for it…you’d think they’d know better from a business standpoint.

Just another dumb move by an organization that has a sh*t product, trying to make an impression by being “edgy” ’cause they suck on the norm. Sound familiar Wizards? Trailer park pizza for everyone!!!!! Hooray!!!!
