Slumping Sales of Chicken Wings Blamed on NFL Protests

POPZETTE: Even this popular consumer pick is not immune to what’s going on against our national anthem by rebellious and disrespectful players.

The NFL national anthem protests are being blamed for declining wings sales.

Sanderson Farms, one of the largest producers of chicken in the U.S., said its slumping sales were due to the football players’ demonstrations.

The company said their spot prices decreased in the past three months and were 14 percent lower than the same period in 2016, Bloomberg reported.

Joe F. Sanderson Jr., the CEO of Sanderson Farms, said retailers’ demand for the deep-fried delight was noticeably lower. “The only thing puzzling me right now is wings,” Sanderson told Bloomberg.

“We’ve been talking to our wing customers, and they’re the ones that are telling us that they’re seeing less traffic in their stores. They attribute that to the NFL.”

The company’s shares dropped 13 percent to $145.85 on Thursday, its worst since 2004. Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. and Tyson Foods, the poultry producer’s competitors, shares fell as well. READ MORE

  1. I’m enjoying the spectacle of seeing the NFL be destroyed by their own stupidity. Keep taking a knee, jackasses. Nobody with a brain gives a shit about your “SJW cause”.

    Next up: Take to the streets to protest Trump like you’re threatening and you’ll be guaranteed to have your asses to you ….maybe permanently.

    The meek (restrained under pressure, which means US, the conservative armed, have about had enough of your infantile bullshit.

  6. Huh! I will only use Miller Farms (Indiana) chickens for any chicken I cook. They are raised the Amish way.

    Right now, at this very minute I have 3 vats (69 thighs total) of what will be, by tonight, deboned and strained of the aromatics) chicken soup in the freezer, most of which will be my personal Christmas gifts to our kids’ families.

    This is my insurance that they won’t pull the plug on me prematurely. LOL

  7. BTW, there is a great wing recipe out on the net for baked wings that are lightly coated with I believe baking powder, not flour, and great spices. Did them a couple years ago. Have to try to find the recipe again.

  8. I’m sure ALL the sports bars have suffered a decline in sales.

    Supermarkets are selling less beer and junk food, and people aren’t interested in the games.

    Businesses who thought it would be great to be near the stadium are also suffering.

    The tickets are the CHEAPEST things in the whole package. The hotels, restaurants, gas stations, EVERYONE loses when people don’t get out of their house and spend money.

  16. COD, the specs for the 4 legged turkey has already been drawn- by our youngest son when he was in first grade. I still pull out the drawing periodically for a good laugh at Thanksgiving.

  18. The only thing that really worries me is the thought that people will stop eating buffalo wings. If that happens, food marketers may stop harvesting them at birth, and buffalo will be flying again. Do you realize how risky it will be for you to go outside when there are flying buffalo overhead?
