OT: "Papa John" out at Louisville

[intlzncster]

Bigger problem... the Football Stadium is named Papa John’s Cardinal Football Stadium and Schattner holds the naming rights.

The Details On That Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium Deal

>>If John Schnatter ever leaves the pizza company he founded, he can take the name of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium with him.

If he wants to rename it after himself, someone close to him or a different business enterprise, well, he can do that too.

Control of the stadium’s name is just one of the perks the University of Louisville granted Schnatter in an agreement inked 20 years ago.<<

The 'F.U. Center'.

When does the ACC say "enough is enough" with Louisville? They continue to embarrass the league, but I guess once you're in the club, there are no rules.

They bring in money. So never. It's the only thing that matters.

Hurr durr SJWs hurr durr goshdarn PC culture hurr durr I'm a victim

About what I’d expect from you but the hurr durr thing is so played on here. Come up with your own stuff for once.

I don't need to come up with anything. I'm content to sit back and let you have your temper tantrum.

LOL. Is there a poster on this board who throws more temper tantrums than you?

Calm down. I know you're upset. Deep breaths.

This whole thing is dumb. I really don’t give a crap about him, Ville, or his sheety pizza. But this conference call was in response to the pitchfork carrying SJW’s who were so outraged by his controversial opinion that NFL players should stand for the anthem. OMG what a shameful opinion.

Then he uses the N word in the context describing Col. Sanders using it. So if he actually said “N word” instead of the actual word he’d be ok. What a joke. I heard the actual word about 46 times last night in 1 song my idiot son played in the car. Maybe everybody should stop using it if we’re going to cast stones.

Doubtful the conference call was in response to the pitchfork carrying SJWs. My guess is that SJWs weren't eating his product to begin with.
The call was in regard to how the business was going to do in response to falling sales.

Also, I don't really think the Bold is true. Even if he used "N-word" and not the actual word for which N stands, context matters.

There is a difference between "It's not like I called them the N-word. I just prefer the players stand." and, "Why won't those N-words stand for the Anthem?"

Didnt this already happen though? I remember him stepping down as the CEO or whatever.

That was as CEO, this is as Chairman of The Board. He also resigned from Louisville Board of Trustees yesterday.

“Forbes first reported Wednesday that Schnatter participated in a conference call in May with Papa John's executives and marketing agency Laundry Service. It was meant to prepare him for an interview to try to repair his public image. Schnatter had left his position as CEO of Papa John's, which was an official sponsor of the NFL, in December after saying that NFL players should stand for the national anthem, and that the controversy about the issue had hurt the company's sales. Two months later, Papa John's prematurely ended its deal with the league, and the NFL quickly sold the deal to Pizza Hut, a Papa John's competitor.

During the conference call, Schnatter was asked how he would distance himself from racist groups online. Forbes reported that in his response, Schnatter questioned why he was facing the wrath of society for taking a stance that all NFL players should stand for the anthem, and he downplayed the significance of those comments. It was then that he claimed Colonel Sanders, who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken, used the N-word in the past and did not face public backlash.

Schnatter said the actual word on the call, ESPN confirmed.”

I think you’re wrong on both accounts.

First it was Jared from Subway and then John from Papa Johns. Who’s next? I’m going to be pretty sad if it turns out Ronald McDonald is a serial killer.

Really, haven't you always suspected that? Pretty sure he owns a white panel van too.

Ah ok.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

This is Capone on tax evasion.

Dude is noxious and he gave them a reason to say bye bye.

More like when Jack Walsh used Alonso Mosley to get Jimmy Serrano pinched with blank discs in McCarran airport.

This was on a conference call meant to repair his public image? lol. He is the face of the company, the company is going to be labelled a racist organization. There's no coming back from that. They're going to have to change their name.

I never really connected the dots. I guess when the Hamburgler is wreaking havoc, no one noticed that the Fry Guys are being whacked one by one.

Papa johns stock up over 11% today lol

Yeah. As if the pizza isn’t bad enough.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Dropping an N' bomb on a company conference call!? That is the worst PR mistake I've ever heard any corporate executive make.

Ironic....he did this while role playing with the PR firm that was going to help him with his image.

 

[Madmannsucks]

Wow, what would you all say if it was Arby's?

So he got danny ferry’d?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I might not have read it correctly, but I got the impression that he was referencing what Colonel Sanders said as an example of something bad and not defending such comments or making them anew. I don't like him or his pizza, and there was a reason why they'd set up a call to address these issues, but I don't think it went down live in the way some have portrayed it here.

That said, I'm more interested in whether @Jimmy Serrano 's "idiot son" is more the product of nature or nurture.

Houwzabout this gramps? Make that the last time you ever include my son in one of your posts. I’m not asking.

You could have left it alone Jim.

You insulted him. I was only insulting you. But okay whatever.

Context: https://www.americanthinker.com/blo..._for_saying_someone_else_used_the_n_word.html

Hilarious. The REAL context was him defending himself by using what someone else said, and in doing so casually and gratuitously using the actual n-word -- as if that's something people do on an important conference call aimed at repairing the damage he or she has already caused.

This isn't PC run amok. This a guy being canned for cause. Sorry RWNJs.
