Now Let's Get Readyeeee To Watch the Feathers Fly!

The facts of the case should be interesting, but here’s a situation where AFC once owned both Churches Chicken and Popeyes Chicken.  AFC sold Churches to Arcapita.  Now it’s alleged that Arcapita, has now started buying up some of the Popeyes and is converting them to Churches.  Popeyes has cried foul, saying that the agreement prevented Arcapita from acquiring Popeyes. 

Hmmmm….should be interesting to watch the Feathers Fly as these to chicken Zors fight it out.  You know I wanted to make reference to the type of fighting one might consider this, but I'll not!  Hmm and I thought this type of fowl fighting was illegal everywhere except for here in the south.
