This kind of thing has got to stop.
I’m telling you, I don’t think these midterms are going to be close. Regular people are sick of this kind of thing.
All because the PC zombies claim any use of the word "nigger" - even if it's used in a quote of people or characters being depicted negatively as racists - is racist?
This is crap. He was quoting someone else as an example; not saying it himself.
PC is crap. All this over sensitivity to race is crap. Leftism is the ultimate crap sandwich.
This museum says that the last lynching in IN was in 1930. Schnatter's granddad was a kid then, not him.

Racism, we are not cured of, clearly. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public.

I am CERTAIN this guy is paying at least, the football players at Louisville. No way are athletes like Sheldon Rankins, DeVante Parker, Cal Pryor, Teddy Bridgewater and Lamar Jackson going to that school, to play for, mainly, Charlie Strong.
I can’t comment on his motives since his statements are out of context, but I will comment on how STUPID this was regardless of intent.
A business conference call is no place for these comments.
He has the right of free speech and beliefs. He also has to accept the consequences.
Papa Johns has the “claim to fame” of being the CHEAPEST pizza.
I generally don’t like the “CHEAPEST” anything. (women maybe being the exception /s).
"It was a different time, you see..."
He used it in a quote. Was the quote accurate or not?
Well, he’s White. He QUOTED someone with the “n-word.” Doesn’t matter. The left relishes the thought of destroying the career of a White. They will force him to resign, over nothing.
Last I heard, rap groups yelled the “n-word” about a million times in the past week.
NOW I get it. This is not about the “racial slur” that they are saying he SAID (not quoted.)
It’s about the NFL national anthem. He criticized the NFL. He was forced to resign as CEO, but they weren’t finished with him. They got him to quit, but now saw an opportunity to whip him into complete submission, even as he bowed down in contrition, begging forgiveness.
They won’t be satisfied even after their thirst for blood is sated. They will continue to seek him out and destroy any chance he might have had to recover.
This is what happens in the USA, that some people foolishly call a “free country.”
Now who are the fascists. Geez. Language police everywhere. I am sure I have used the word, nigger, in such a context as giving an example as to what was considered proper at one time. The whole world is one bloody snowflake.
