Louisville Removes Papa John's Name From Football Stadium, Business School...
Deadspin ^ | 7/13/18 | David Roth

Posted on 07/14/2018 3:36:23 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A week that began with reports that Papa John’s founder Papa “John” Schnatter somehow worked an overt hard-r racial slur into a conference call with a marketing company is ending with the removal of Schnatter’s name from virtually everything on which it had previously been emblazoned. There are only so many of these left at this point, but the University of Louisville announced on Friday that it would begin the work of prying Papa’s brand off their football stadium and, uh, The John H. Schnatter Center for Free Enterprise at the Louisville College of Business. He had already withdrawn from the school’s board of trustees on Wednesday, and had stepped down from the school’s Athletic Association back in April.

After Wednesday’s rash of slur-driven disassociations—MLB’s “Papa Slam” promotion and Schnatter’s status as his own company’s chairman of the board were...

Nah, this has everything to do with the NFL kneeling thing, nothing more. If ‘Papa John’ was a leftist, he’d have gotten the same free pass that Samantha Bee received.

Can someone please tell me when he referred to blacks by the WORSE WORD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. He was referring to the way Harlan Sanders talked, which was exactly like 99% of his generation talked.

“Colonel Sanders called blacks niggers and Sanders never faced public backlash” during a conference call with marketing agency Laundry Services, apparently to convey his dislike for racism.[17] After the call, the owner of the marketing agency moved to end their contract with Papa John’s. Schnatter resigned as chairman of the board on the same day the incident was reported”

What a bunch of BS. Cut and dry he was fired because he’s a Trump supporter and before the day’s out Trump will be blamed by CNN.

So when will liberals and especially black liberals call for KFC to be
boycotted and Harlan Sanders to be listed as a black hating racist.

The answer is never because they like fried chicken to much and that’s a fact.

I love Poppa John’s sandwiches and will continue to eat there.

“Louisville is an ultra liberal blue blob in the middle of red Kentucky.”

That’s an apt description of pretty much every state in the union. The problem begins, when the “BLUE BLOBS” are able to take over. Even here in CA, there are really only four Blue Blobs, but they manage to run the whole state.

I want to see every venue ban every rapper who has said “Nigga”. That’d be just about all of them.

“This social purge is being fueled by Cultural Marxism. Wait until this becomes conventional tactics.”

Sounds like you’re panicking. South Carolina threw 10 obuma protestors who tried to start a riot into state prison for 5 to 10 years.

I have heard nothing of the name of the PR firm? They have been quiet and not releasing that information.

The firm was called Laundry Service. Its CEO Corey Wasserman cancelled their contract with Papa John's after hearing about the conference call. There's more detail in this Forbes article.

Will any of the “Feel good fools” give him back his money”?

No a f*cking chance. They’re greedy just like the rest of the liberals.
