    It doesn't seem at first glance that it belongs in the Politics thread, but everything is political these days...

    The NFL's Stupid Pizza Wars Were Always Coming

    Excerpts:

    "If Trump has one single accomplishment as President, it is how thoroughly he’s revealed extremely rich people as being not somehow braver or smarter or more disciplined than the rest of us but somehow exactly the opposite—consumed by pettiness, enslaved by vanity, and perfectly willing to fuck important things up in order to make some point to themselves and their rancid peers."

    "Pizza Hut, which is not affiliated with the NFL, put its oar in to say that the NFL’s protest movement had not impacted their bottom line at all. This set up a partisan binary that doubles as a crystalline metaphor for life in these times. You could eat an awful Papa John’s pizza to Trigger The Liberals—they love the NFL now, and they get real upset when you eat pizza that tastes like a couch cushion soaked for 48 hours in margarine and brine ...

    Or you could Stand Up For Your Values by ordering from Pizza Hut and subjecting yourself to one of the few pizza experiences more reliably disappointing than Papa John’s. It’s also possible that Little Caesar’s is the ethical choice in Appallingly Shitty Pizza. Even if you’re a smug, apolitical shitposter, there’s an option just for you..."
