Courier-Journal: Move over Papa John’s, Pizza Hut takes NFL sponsorship

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced in a statement on Wednesday that Pizza Hut would be their new sponsor, right after Louisville-based Papa John’s executives acknowledged “missteps” in their relationship with the football league causing them to resign the account.

“We know many of our fans enjoy pizza while watching NFL games and we are thrilled to have Pizza Hut, an industry leader and one of America’s favorite brands, as an official league sponsor,” Goodell said a statement. “With a focus on family, friends and fun, Pizza Hut has the creativity we are looking for in a partner and we look forward to working together with them to make the at-home NFL experience more exciting than ever for our fans.”
