Papa John’s Will Remove Founder’s Face From Logo and Ads Amid N-Word Controversy



To say things have not been going well for Papa John’s seems like an understatement. It all started towards the end of last year, when the pizza chain’s then-CEO John Schnatter blamed slumping sales on the NFL protests against police brutality and racial injustice in this country, a move that scored him fans in the alt-right (Papa John’s was the official NFL pizza sponsor until February of this year.) Schnatter then stepped down as the company’s CEO, but remained the head of the board and the public face of the company.

  1. I bet you if he would of said Rape, Murder and drug uses ( real crimes that hurt people) other than the N word he still have a job. Are we really this weak ? Are black people really this offended and weak willed towards that word ? bear in mind, it thrown around more often than 'The' 'and' and 'But' in most rap vids and yet in a closed door meeting it causes someone to have to step down from the company they made…..

  2. CN (N)…race bating is not attractive. Calling Papa John racist is wrong. These situations had nothing to do with race, but a misunderstanding from snowflakes of the context. I swear, if you race baiters didnt have race to talk about, you wouldn't know what to do with your lives. You would probably die of boredom.

  3. "Who cares" ? Really!!! We see how this is something you are offended by right ? Not! This man was vile and wanted blacks to buy his food but still insult them and you say who cares!!!!!

  4. HE JUST WANTED TO BE FAMOUS . HE DIDN'T HAVE TO PUT HIS FACE ALL OVER THE COMMERCIALS AND PIZZA BOXES . HE JUST WANTED TO BE FAMOUS SO HE COULD BANG ALL THEM HOT , YOUNG TWENTY YEAR OLD WOMEN .

  5. People do your own research. There were so many details and facts left out of this video about the context of what happened and how and why the "n" word was used. I don't know why Complex even covered this story if they are not going to be accurate or honest.
