He was quoting someone else.
People are idiots.
Your train of thought makes logical sense.
That means your ideas are ineligible for use.
They are punishing a company that tried to do what they demand.
Black slavery was not the worst thing that ever happened.
Racism is not the worst thing there is.
No word should carry such consequences.
So “honkie, white bread, cracker, red neck” are all OK?????
The rule used to be that it was bad to call another person the dreaded “n-word”. Now it’s death to even say the word in the context of mentioning that another person said it, as this Papa John guy did. He himself did not call anyone anything. What nonsense - and the Yankees are idiots for condoning it.
“What nonsense - and the Yankees are idiots for condoning it.”
What did the New York Yankees condone?
Just imitating my dark cousins.
Compare that to some of things these Hollywood types have said about Trump and voters like me but there’s virtually no punishment.
I’m betting some of the guys on plaques at Yankee Stadium used that word also. Will they distance their relationship from them?
Thanks ! The Left’s cows are sacred indeed . . .
I expect someone to make charges that Trump said this word years ago. He won’t be able to prove that he didn’t, and the media will run with another reason to impeach him.
No outrage of Col. Sanders and good ‘ol KFC who allegedly did use the “N” word with impunity back in the day? I really have no correct context or audio but I care less. The NFL was after Papa Johns because of words said about the anthem so I figure it was only a matter of time when the knives strike another company to shreds. I really feel bad for people who work for the company.
This was blown way out of proportion. An anthill made into a mountain. PC sucks.
I wonder if the team promo codes still work.
Breaking News!!!
All baseball teams, and all NFL teams, and all NBA teams, will also suspend relations with all black players who use the “N” word. It’s expected that all teams will lose approximately 50% of their players.
All black singers and rappers, are also on notice that, they too could get suspended from the music industry, meaning that, most music will suffer from “clean lyrics”.
Whatever he actually did, as this story doesn’t come close to explaining people’s reactions, it must be horrendous to justify a full press public shaming and bannishing.
I didn’t realize that last Papa John’s pizza was my last Papa John’s pizza, but it was. NO going back now.
I won’t be supporting what they have done to his business, his name and reputation, his philanthropy and his life.
