underrated post

The company "papa john's" fired John for not being politically correct and not being LGBTQ friendly or other bullshit

They said he said nigger in a conference call

" Schnatter reportedly complained that KFC founder “Colonel Sanders called blacks niggers” and never faced any public backlash."

You can't even say "nigger" in context without them firing you.
Is it time to fire every high school english teacher reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" or Mark Twain in class?

TL;DR he got a lot of flak for talking shit about the NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. Basically wanted them to enforce some kind of rule on it. That was skewed as being a slave master/racist because the players that kneel are mostly black and telling them what to do is racist. So in some conference call about if later he said something like "colonel Sanders said nigger and never had this kind of outrage" and he got removed from his own company and they removed any reference to him

"Schnatter set off a firestorm in November when he blamed poor sales on the furore surrounding NFL players’ protests against racial inequality.

Papa John’s is a major sponsor of the NFL. Schnatter attributed sluggish sales to the decision by some NFL players to kneel during the pre-game national anthem.

“NFL leadership has hurt Papa John’s shareholders,” said Schnatter at the time. He said “the NFL has hurt us by not resolving the current debacle” and said the protests “should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago”.

His comments were praised by neo-Nazi groups. Papa John’s was forced to issue an apology."

>omg nazis agree with you??????? it must be bad then automatically!!!!

They fired him over nothing.
They wanted him gone for other reasons and this is just the excuse they gave

I'm never buying Papa Johns pizza again

He did say nigger, but it was after several dudes in the call brought it up so many times that he finally said something like "I would never say the word nigger like that." Basically he was tired of saying he wasn't racist and wouldn't say nigger in public. He knew the company was trying to force him out though, so he shouldn't have let nigger slip anyway. No one knew one of the guys in the call was recording the whole ordeal. Then someone in the conference call tried to extort the company for the recording. The company decided to ignore them and the extortionists sold it to a news outlet. Papa John's chair members forced him to quit and they've gone downhill ever since.

i deliver for papa

His pizza was never good in the first place. His cheese always tasted chemically.

nah probably the niggers wiping their balls on yours
