Got to go pick up my pizza now.

I've known John since his high school days. He grew up 3 doors down the street and he took over the chores I used to do when I left home. My dad loaned him his pick-up numerous times for trips to Ball State and during the early days of his pizza business I traded him Christmas trees for pizza. He is a good guy and a straight shooter.

I didn't know he went to Ball State. I like him even more now.

Now, now... no sense in cluttering up a good outrage with pesky facts and such!

Picked up a large Papa John's last night.

Gotta admit that they are sort of expensive! I'm normally a $5 Pizza guy.

It's a shame he was forced out. This political correctness crap will be the death of us.

I won't buy another pizza until they have him return.

This shit has to stop.

If you paid full menu price, yes it is stupid expensive. They do 50% off whenever your home team wins. Here they do CAPS50, NATS50, WIZ50, UNITED50, off and on the Skins too.

There's even a website for DC. Probably one for you too.

Or some stock.

Yup. If it was sound before, buy it now that it is cheaper.

Uhhh, well, a quick perusal of the year end balance sheet shows liabilities exceed assets, no shareholder equity on the books.

Then skip the stock purchase.

If you order online, the big 3 chains pretty much have a 1/2 off or other offer/coupon code all the time. Check retailmenot.com

Don't forget, they also have a SCHERZER31 deal!

Papa John’s Pizza shares posted their biggest percentage increase in roughly six years on Thursday, hours after company founder John Schnatter stepped down as chairman following his use of a racial slur during a May conference call.

Papa John’s shares rose more than 11% to $53.67 in trading Thursday, erasing the company’s losses from Wednesday after Schnatter’s admission. The stock saw their highest single-day percentage increase since May 2, 2012, when it rose 19.93%. Share are down 4% so far this year.

Didn't he already get demoted when he said something about not liking the kneeling during the anthem and said it was hurting the NFL??

He demoted himself then and he demoted himself today.

This thread title is absolutely accurate. JS has been lynched by an anonymous source and a bunch of virtue signaling social justice warriors. Fuck em all.

The fallout from ‘Papa John’ Schnatter’s use of a racial slur continues in the wake of his resignation.

Mike Moore, the mayor of Schnatter’s hometown of Jeffersonville, Ind., has announced that a fieldhouse named for the controversial Papa John’s founder will no longer bear his name. He has also mailed back a donation Schnatter had committed to the building in 2017.

"The city of Jeffersonville represents a very diverse community," Mayor Moore said Wednesday, as reported by the Louisville Courier Journal. "It was a tough decision, but I believe it was the right decision."

The fieldhouse, which since 2017 was known as the John H. Schnatter–Nachand Fieldhouse, will revert back to its original name: Nachand Fieldhouse.

Schnatter’s name was added to the building after he pledged $800,000 toward its renovations, which are currently ongoing. Moore confirmed to Fox News that he mailed back $400,000 of Schnatter's pledged donation — the entirety of what he says Shnatter had paid so far — back on Thursday morning.


Papa John’s confirmed on Wednesday that Schnatter had resigned from the company's board following a Forbes report claiming he used the N-word during a conference call with a marketing firm in May 2018.

Citing “a source with knowledge of the event,” Forbes reported that Schantter was taking part in a role-playing exercise in the wake of his comments concerning the NFL, and him placing blame on the league’s national anthem protests for the company’s sales. During the call, he reportedly said “Colonel Sanders called blacks n----“ and never faced backlash.

He also allegedly stated that, in his home state of Indiana, “people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died,” reportedly intending for the sentiment to convey his opposition to racism.

The marketing firm on the call, Laundry Service, later terminated their contract with Papa John’s.

Schnatter apologized for the remarks Wednesday. “News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true,” said Schnatter in a statement released by Papa John’s. “Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society.”


Schnatter originally stepped down as Papa John’s CEO in December 2017, after claiming that the NFL’s handing of player protests contributed to the company’s third-quarter earnings slump. Papa John’s ended its official sponsorship of the NFL in February 2018.

Man this is ridiculous.

He isn't racist you idiots! He said the word referencing someone else who said it. And the truck thing? Is simply mentioning racist activities now also racist? Even in the context of disagreeing with them?

Holy shit I don't even know what to say any more. This is fucking bizarro world.

We see an escalating trend of consequences for people who run afoul of political correctness imposed my the super sanctimonious. Those same pearl clutchers will someday find themselves afoul of the ever expanding definition of political correctness because no one is pure enough to escape its voracious stinking gob.

U of L plays football in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium and PJ has the naming rights until 2040. SJWs are making noise about taking PJ's name off the stadium but I imagine it's ironclad. This truly is fucking bizarro world.
