Papa John's founder John Schnatter resigned as company chairman late Wednesday after it was reported that he used the N-word during a conference call in May.
The company said in a statement that it will appoint a new chairman in the coming weeks.
The news comes the same day Schnatter faced intense backlash for using the racial slur while taking part in an exercise on handling public relations. Forbes first reported on the comments Wednesday, stating that Schnatter used the N-word after being asked how he would distance himself from racist groups.
The question came in response to blowback Schnatter received for linking NFL players' protests of the national anthem to lower sales for the pizza company. According to Forbes, Schnatter tried to minimize the impact of his statement on the anthem protests.
Schnatter has been the face of Papa John's since stepping down as the company's CEO in December amid backlash from his comments about NFL protests.
My Dad used to say “ I don’t care what you call me, just call me.” He was one heck of a salesman.
Got that, thanks.
Isnt this the guy who spoke of others using the word, and didnt say the n word but used the word? As in quoting what other people should not say?
As if forming the sounds of such a word with your lips MAKES YOU A RACIST?
Or am I wrong, and he legit called a black person such a name?
Authentic Western Gibberish.
What's the N word mean? How in hell do we know what he said if they use phrases like, "The N word"? And if everyone already knows what it is, why bother saying, "The N word"? What about fat people? Should we use, the F word instead of the word fat? How about stupid people? The S word? Did they use the J word instead of Japs in WWII? How about the, "W word" for the Italians? The C word for crackers?
From my perspective it's like these people live in a childrens world of make believe...Meanwhile in black communities it's used routinely and often. What a bad joke this has become.
So, My opinion based on what he said, is that he is pretty damn stupid.
Thanks yesthatjallen.
He didn’t trip up, it never ceases to amaze me how conservatives will blame their fellows who are the victims of liberal lies.
Bingo
I hear the word all the time. It is used prolifically by Negroes hereabouts. I overheard a loud conversation including a fellow who was describing being shot in the leg at a party and he was crowing that the guy “done shot the wrong nigga,” and there would be retribution. Nobody around seemed to be appalled at the use of the word.
Black people. They use it all the time.
Lets just create a new rule. ANYONE using the N word is racist scum, black or white.
Solves the problem.
Could you imagine a white person suing a black person for using the word?
Makes me chortle.
I did not feel safe with your use of the N word in your song Mr Rapper.
If I may ask, just exactly what were You having them put on this pizza You speak of and what size was it to be ?
Were any other items included like Soda, Salad, etc ?
Black rappers and Black comedians almost every single day?
I’m especially proud these young children were here to hear that Authentic Frontier Gibberish.
Howard Johnson is correct about Gabby Johnson being correct.
Ns more than anyone else
Ive fought a half dozen black males in my illustrious life including two Miami black cops who almost beat my white friend to death while hand cuffed
They call me white cracker mfer I respond in kind
And Im not resigning
Ill bet the NFL players use the N-word a lot more often than John Schnatter ever did.
If he was a rapper he would sell extra copies...
Was it in the context of an observation that these protesters were acting low class, i.e. like n-words?
What daffy times we live in.
