Papa john's pizza suck
Black people need to stop getting sensitive just bc a word is said. It’s different to be called out by your name but you can’t just delete a word out the dictionary. People are stupid and overly sensitive when they have never been truly oppressed or enslaved
This should show everyone why you never get so deep in investors your board can fire you.
Papa john is a very humble and honest dude. I remember my store manager getting invited to his house for lunch and a meeting and they ate pbnj sammiches. I’ll never forget that story bc it taught me allot although I wasn’t there myself.
This reporter is pounding the n word. Unfair victim of cancel culture.
Nigga please
He's an entrepreneur so of course he's lying to protect his assets. Don't be dumb y'all, they have money to pay ppl to spread lies.
Aye God strike this guy cause he's LYIN HIS ASS OFF. Who actually says the N-word through verbal conversation rather than use the pg-13 version which is "N WORD"
In his shoes in this interview I'd have said "There was nothing wrong with what I said and I'm tired of pretending that there was. Anyone who was offended at what I said is either a KFC fanboy or part of the problem."
"It remains to be seen if the tail of that tape provides vindication"???? What, the tale peaks for itself!!
Again, woke media eager to rush lies to the sheeple that believe nothing else.
Papa John did nothing wrong
as a black person i never bought his pizza anyways and never will
I watched a movie when I was younger called Blazing Saddles. I am in so much trouble when the cancel culture finds out.
The interviewer is obviously far left and racist.
Popa John founder and product is TRASH!
Just be honest and say you never used the n-word in public.
Privately I'm will to bet you use the n-word before ðŸ¤â€Â
Look people just own up to your mistakes. You know behind closed doors we all had racist thoughts.
It's funny how Colonel Sanders's people claimed that he never said that word. So, lemme get this straight…you seriously expect me to believe that an old, rich man, who grew up in Kentucky (of all places), in the late 1800's, and early 1900's, who sold fried chicken (of all products), never, ever used that word. I'm not a bettin' man, but if I were, I would put all my chips on "total bullshit"…but that's just me. And yeah, Papa John got straight rail-roaded.
This man started his empire from his pops bowling alley closet. They actually did this man wrong.
Why does he always sound like he has extreme dry-mouth? Maybe he started the company cuz he had the munchies, lol.
The nfl is soft just like every player in that fucking league… Anti nfl for life
He's trying to say he said the word, he didn't use it. I agree. And this dude came up when you could say words without using them. The N word no matter the context seems to be off limits.
NO ONE OUT PIZZAS THE HUT!!!
His career? Lol you can make pizza anywhere,I have a feeling he will be fine…but these sensitive liberals are out to ruin lives of anyone,who is white…but this guy is a fruitcake…
What did he say
Wow the company Laundry Service and it's CEO seem like a real scumbag. If the then CEO of Laundry Service felt offended he should just tell Schnatter that the company can't work with him any further instead of trying to ruin a client reputation.
I think this could come off like he just used the word lightly, but I really don’t think he meant it that way and was just stating what he believed to be a fact.
I’m more shocked that this business and team of people he built, could literally be like, ok your out. I wouldn’t go easy, but this guy seems to be pretty genuine and probably doesn’t want trouble.
🖕ðŸÂ¾ya
It’s a word get over it
🖕ðŸÂ¾. ya
Dude is shady but give him credit for showing up on ABC I wouldn't forgive him for dropping the N bomb a CEO Chairman of a billion dollar company knows better to use street language and he is lying about KFC but I would give him another chance, he is right about Roger Goodell
To me that does screen set up, mental
This happened to me.
Left wing lunacy and BLM BS. The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket with these rejects of society.
Doesn’t Tarantino do this all the time ðŸ¤â€Â
Hey what’s up Papa Johns. This is Cory from the Cowboy Stadium. Just checking up on you. Keep it fresh home slice.

So fucking ridiculous. One paraphrased word. It’s like they’re going to the principals office to tattle on Johnny.
Didn't he take 20 months to get the N-word out his vocab
..Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
Ooo
You shoudn't have said the actual word. Just say "N Word" not "N****"
The reporters for ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN all knew people had not listened to that phone conversation. That's why it was so easy for them to make John Schnatter look like a terrible person. He was talking about when Colonel Sanders had used the N-word. John Schnatter didn't call NFL players the N-word because some of them were kneeling during the national anthem and making a spectacle of themselves. I sympathize with John Schnatter now. Those NFL players can start their own pizza company if they don't like Papa John's.
