People are theorizing that Popeyes' chicken sandwich convinced Chick-fil-A to stop donating to controversial groups. Here's the real reason for the change
26 days ago | By Business Insider

However, Chick-fil-A appears to have cut its controversial donations earlier this year - before Popeyes rolled out its chicken sandwich.
A Chick-fil-A representative said the company's decision was separate from Popeyes' sandwich rollout.
Chick-fil-A's expansion efforts are far more relevant to the donations decision than the arrival of Popeyes' chicken sandwich.
