It seems that Papa John has decided his accusing the players isn’t helping his bottom line: dailykos.com:
The statements made on our earnings call were describing the factors that impact our business and we sincerely apologize to anyone that thought they were divisive. That definitely was not our intention. (1/3)

I do like his attempt at this:
We will work with the players and league to find a positive way forward. Open to ideas from all. Except neo-nazis — 🖕those guys. (3/3)

And here’s a good response:
You don’t need to “work with” them. They want to protest. They don’t need your permission or to compromise to benefit you.
