News Report on Papa John's "Crybaby" T-Shirt Story

If you live in the Cleveland area, today is the day for 23 cent pizzas!

UPDATE:  According to WKYC , this offer has been expanded to include some stores in NE Ohio (Toledo and Youngstown):   

Papa Johns "will provide one large, one-topping pizza for
carry-out/pick-up only, for customers. No on-line orders are included
in this offer.

The 50 shops, including the ones in Akron, Barberton, Cleveland,
Massillon, Toledo, Youngstown, Hudson, Wadsworth, Kent, Stow, Cuyahoga
Falls, Euclid, Mentor, Barberton, Alliance, Macedonia, Shaker Heights,
and Lakewood, will honor the 23-cent deal. The stores open at
11 a.m. and customers can call or come in to a shop to get the deal.
However, no home delivery or on-line orders of the special "apology"
pizzas will be made on Thursday.

The 23-cent deal is limited to one per household or one per person and all proceeds from the 23-cent pizzas are going to the LeBron James Family Fund and the Cavaliers Youth Fund."

Papa John’s made T-shirts calling LeBron James a crybaby -  now as an apology they are offering 23 cent pizzas on Thursday in the Cleveland area.


Papa John's Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts with LeBron James' number and the word "crybaby" under it.

To apologize, Papa John's will sell Cleveland residents a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents on Thursday. The 23 is an homage to James' jersey number. The company also will donate $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.

The pizza chain's T-shirts were featured during the Cavs' games against the Wizards on Friday in Washington. Wizards fans taunted the Cavs, who won the payoff series that night in Game 6.

The shirts started after James complained about hard fouls, and Wizards center Brendan Haywood called him a crybaby.

This was taken during the Free Comic Book day promotion at Spaz Dog Comics in Phoenix AZ. Papa Johns Pizza was there to feed the hungry crowds, and Arizona's own local superhero, Citizen Prime, on hand to promote public awareness of how everyday people have it within themselves to be superheroes too.
