This story isn’t going anywhere soon, is it

Never fails; whenever you have a scandal this big, there is a floodgates opening effect.

He had the right idea quitting while he was ahead. Too bad he couldn't just shut the f*** up.

[The Captain]

Last November, he criticized the NFL’s handling of national anthem protests, calling the whole affair a “debacle.” Papa John’s shares crashed 11% in hours and kept falling, Schnatter lost his CEO title and franchise sales dropped an estimated 5% or more

So he was right about the anthem protests affecting his sales, just not in the way he expected.

[Ganon83]

So basically the way I’m reading this, he made a bunch of buddies higher ups and made the board room into a frat house.

The part where one of them took their mistress as their guest at the Super Bowl just blows me away

In my experience, it’s always seemed like the nicest people had a knack for baking the tastiest pizzas. That said, to reiterate, man Papa John’s pizza is god awful.

Y’all better do something now before you’re the next “Abandoned” episode on YouTube.

To your first point, I had a local shop down the street from an old apartment of mine. I had a Sunday ritual: Order from them, get a case of beer, binge watch WWE Network(unless The Eagles were playing), and chill out til open mic night at the bar down the street. Did this every Sunday for months on end, so needless to say, they knew me. One day, I place my order, wait a bit, then walk down to grab it. Dude says hi, grabs my pizza, opens it up, looks at me and says, "shit. We made the wrong one. Give me ten minutes." No problem, I go outside for a smoke, walk back in, and he gives me BOTH of them for no extra charge.

THAT is how you run a pizza shop.

From the way that he comes across, I have no problems believing this.

Well, there's more to the story.

www.cnbc.com/2018/07/17/papa-johns-founder-speaks-out-on-resignation-the-board-and-kanye-west.html

"I then said something on the order of, Colonel Sanders used the word 'N,' (I actually used the word,) that I would never use that word and Papa John’s doesn’t use that word," Schnatter told the board. "Let me be very clear: I never used the 'N' word in that meeting as a racial epithet, nor would I ever."

Coming back to this, I realize it leaves out the best part:

Schnatter said he refused to work with West because "he uses the 'N' word in his lyrics," according to the letter. It was later on the call that Schnatter said he used the actual word when pressed whether or not he was a racist.

"I then said something on the order of, Colonel Sanders used the word 'N,' (I actually used the word,) that I would never use that word and Papa John’s doesn’t use that word," Schnatter told the board. "Let me be very clear: I never used the 'N' word in that meeting as a racial epithet, nor would I ever."

So, to clarify, he used the n-word while recounting a white person using the n-word (who, again, has never been proven to) during an explanation as to why he would never work with a black entertainer that used the n-word.

That's amazing.

Wait, did he just use the word to say he'd never use the word?

I find it very hard to believe that the esteemed Papa John would turn his board room into a frat house.

[cabbageboy]

If it was a frat house I'm sure Andre McGee could provide entertainment for a fee. I know now! That's how McGee had his falling out with Katina Powell. Papa John and Co. wanted some white girls at the parties. In all seriousness that actually is the reason Katina Powell got angry and wrote the tell all book, Andre McGee wanted her to bring some white girls to the U of L stripper parties.

As a U of L fan and alum this is like the darkest possible timeline. It's like the two decades of corporate greed and grovelling led to the dumbest stuff ever, the sleaziest coaches ever, one of the most morally bankrupt regimes ever, and in the case of Schnatter a sleazeball Foundation member and mega donor being disgraced. The seeds of it started with Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, then the pressure to win that came with the KFC Yum Center. I miss Freedom Hall.

It was 2am and there were no other Pizza places open.

New York pizza places are open until 4. WHAT'S THE REAL REASON?! WE WANT THE TRUTH!

Well we were told by 3 different people that Papa John's Pizza was incredibly shit but those warnings were ignored.

Also we tried to give that Pizza to a hungry homeless man and as soon as he saw it was Papa John's he told us to f*** off.

Wow it's like every stereotype about sad older guys trying to look cool with younger people rolled into one sad, sweaty-looking package.

Only reason they still have to put up with this f***er is because he owns 3/10ths of stock.
