the league and company said in a joint statement, reported by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/22597858\/papa-johns-nfl-end-sponsorship-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between the pizza chain and the league became turbulent last year, when Papa John\u2019s founder, John Schnatter, claimed players who staged protest during the national anthem had a detrimental impact on business.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Schnatter, who was then the company CEO, said he was disappointed the \u201cNFL and its leadership did not resolve this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company went on to remove the NFL shield from its pizza boxes and from its commercials during game broadcast as the issue lingered on.<\/p>\n<p>But less than two weeks after Schnatter\u2019s statement, the company\u2019s stock price had tumbled by 12% and Papa John\u2019s founder subsequently apologized for his comments.<\/p>\n<p>Schnatter, who was replaced as CEO on 1 January, oversaw the development of a strong relationship between his company and the NFL. After becoming the league\u2019s official pizza sponsor in 2010, the company adopted the same role in Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom a year later and it also paid $5m for the naming rights of the stadium of the University of Louisville&#8217;s football team, which has since been known as\u00a0Papa John&#8217;s Cardinal Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Schnatter has since made a further $10m donation to fund the stadium\u2019s expansion and extended the naming rights until 2040.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-correction\">\n<div class=\"content-correction-links\"><a
