Would you continue to buy Papa John's Pizza after its ex-CEO used the N WORD?
 

PJ founder quits after using the N WORD in a conference call. Is there a line that can be drawn between the personal attitudes of people who run a business and their business? Or is there no line? If you serve the public, you MUST be accountable to the public?

Hungry Howies is better than Papa John's. He didn't use it in a derogatory sense. All the hysteria over that word is stupid.

When you're an ethnic and manage a billion dollar company and the N-word rolls off your tongue in a business conference call, you're a self entitled piece of shit and don't deserve what people gave you in trust.

When investors bought stocks of Papa John's they didn't expect they were supporting a nin white ethnic racist piece of shit and he quit because he knew that was true.

Depends which N-word.

I'm guessing that "nationalist" is the most offensive one.

I wouldn't have known he said anything if you didn't say he did.

Gotta love the internet

Papa John's pizza sucks. The local mom and pop pizzeria makes a better pizza

EVERY black sports start and rapper uses the word.. so stoop listening to rap and watching sports while you don't eat papa johns?

Black people can use the word. That's the bigger issue in that some use it, others copy that, and get in deep shit.

I haven't listened to the video yet, but, supposedly he was part of s role-playing exercise. Resignation is a great gesture but he's ruined the brand name .

I never eaten their pizza. I'm a pizza snob, having lived on Boston's North End which is all Italian. Fast food is too generic, too many chemicals aka preservatives.

Now I'm craving pizza!

I used to love their garlic butter sauce and that pickled pepper was a nice touch.

But they've gone downhill recently.

I seen the headline on CNN. Said to my wife there goes another idiot speaking outside his own race. Sad to say but I don't feel a bit sorry for him- as I wouldn't have the slightest pity for any race speaking derogatory outside their own race.

Haven't heard the video, but apparently it was during a role play situation for racial sensitivity or something.

bingo...

I've never had Papa John's pizza... I'm guessing it isn't all that.

Pizza from chain restaurants always suck. Buy from your local pizza place.

local pizza places in general suck massive ass and are overpriced.

Yea, fuck paying $20 for a pizza.

not only that but they're never cooked right in a local joint. $20+ for an undercooked pie that takes 2x+ longer wait? no thanks! and local joints always make stupid pies.

I see your point. I feel I can BRIEFLY say whatever I want about my nationality because that's my nationality. Joking or not, I would take great offense to a 'outsider' serious or role playing slang mocking my nationality.
On the other hand, I would take offense to anyone that is of my nationality going off on a constant, non-stop rant degrading our nationality. To me it's common sense where today's day and age common sense is of limited supply as proven my Mr. Papa John.

he didn't just drop the n word to be edgy or try to make a joke with his idiot friends.

he said
". He also reflected on his childhood in Indiana, saying people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died, according to Forbes."

guy is a moron...just go live on your island and dont procreate anymore

Stock is up over 12% today. Schnatter cleaned up lol

Pappa John's is a miserable excuse for Pizza. Worst I've ever had.

Defending white people calling black folks n***ers, you've hit a new low old man.

Love to see you call a black man n***er to his face, but you're too much a coward just like the racist in the video below, when you have to stand behind your racism in front of black folks you cower away and submit like a little bitch.

BINGO! :2 cents: :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Papa Johns pizza sucks

Where do you come up with this nonsense?

You seem extra excited that the DOW is in the same spot as it was 7 months ago.

There isn't a Papa Johns anywhere near me so I don't know if I have ever had their pizza, but after his horseshit with Obamacare I'd opt to pass on spending my money there.

No one uses the DOW to gauge the market.

Your cult leader does

The Dow just broke 24,000 for the first time (another all-time Record). If the Dems had won the Presidential Election, the Market would be down 50% from these levels and Consumer Confidence, which is also at an all-time high, would be “low and glum!”

Dow just crashes through 25,000. Congrats! Big cuts in unnecessary regulations continuing.

SPY is a better measurement for the entire market.

Interesting comments here re local pizza

Back when I lived in SF, that would be a valid point.

Now? Meh....

And yet it's still up over 30% since Trump was elected :thumbsup

Not really, I prefer Costco pizza

And it's up 269% since Obama was elected you silly fuck.

What puzzles me is that John Schnatter referred to COLONEL SANDERS using the N word... well, that's a completely different time and place.

Anyway, the Papa John's story is amazing (discounting the racial slur issue). He went from subleasing a spot for a pizza over in his dad's tavern to a multi-billion dollar company.

I would never buy it in the first place because the mom and pop Greek pizza shop a block away from Papa John's is way better.

According to FBI Counter Intelligence Supervisor and key role player / leader of the 3 most serious investigations in US history you can have personal opinions on work phones and it not affect your decision making in your work.. You can say all sorts of inflammatory shit to your coworkers and it means nothing. So.. Based on that premise he should probably get his job back. Strzok has his after all. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

BTW I hate papa johns so no..

Make my own with OO Caputo flour much better than any shit you can by from chains or restaurants :thumbsup

You must have a colon made of steel. I salute you, sir!

In Hong Kong, starting conversation about someones use of "The N-word" is just as disresectful as saying the real word.

Speaking of Hong Kong, I didn't know that the Cantonese Chinese use a word that sounds very similar to the N WORD. Apparently, it is used frequently.

:thumbsup

local family run pizza parlours & dominos are twice the pizza, taste, quality & how hot it comes :2 cents:
