Since former  Papa John's former CEO, John Schnatter used the N-word on a conference call there has been a big fallout, especially across the sports world. There are lots of NFL teams that have agreements with Papa Johns and some teams like the Atlanta Falcons have cut ties completely.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it very clear that won't be the case with his team and they will continue their relationship with the pizza franchise.

“Some teams that have addressed the Papa John’s issue by distancing themselves do not have the same relationship that the Cowboys have with Papa John’s business in Texas,” Jones said via Pro Football Talk. “We own the Papa John's in Texas and feel strongly that our Cowboys are the big face of Papa John's, and that judgment is warranted by what we've done over the last 15 years with Papa John's.”

Jones did make it very clear that just because the team is sticking with Papa Johns, that isn't an endorsement in any way for what Schnatter said. Jones also said that he hasn't talked to Schnatter, but he is sure that he wishes he could have a do-over.

“That's very unfortunate that that's being addressed, unfortunate for the company and unfortunate for John,” Jones said. “I'm sure if he could do it over again, he'd like do-overs. But the bottom line is that the Cowboys and our relationships, we own those stores. It's not an endorsement.”

The Cowboys and Papa Johns current promotion gives individuals a chance for half off pizza the day after the Cowboys score 20 or more points in a game.
