“With respect to John H. Schnatter," the board of directors at Papa John’s says “Papa John” Schnatter will no longer have a work space at the company headquarters in the wake of his latest controversy.
On Sunday, Papa John’s International, Inc. issued a press release stating that the company will be terminating a sublease agreement with Schnatter, which had allowed him the use of office space within the building.
The decision came following the board’s previous actions toward terminating Schnatter’s “founders agreement,” and removing his likeness from marketing materials after he admitted to using the N-word during a conference call in May 2018.
“Since Mr. Schnatter no longer has an active role with the management of company’s business, the special committee [of the board of directors] also approved and directed the company to terminate a sublease agreement granting Mr. Schnatter the right to use certain office space at the company’s corporate headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky,” the press release reads.

I’ve ordered my last pizza from there.
If Schlatter ever starts a new company he’s got my business.
They’ll be history within two years.
So...are they going to rename the company? PC Pizza? Social Justice Pie?
Guess I’ll add Papa John’s to the Do Not Patronize list.
If I were him I’d be talking to every competitor - 30% of the shares is lethal.
bDo whites use the word a lot in the South?
Dam...if I order an Italian pizza pepperoni with olives.....would they accuse me of being culturally insensitive? He’s the only one to call out the NFL on kneeling. No Papa, No pizza! No Papa, No pizza! No Papa, No pizza!
Sambo’s?
The end is when all whites are subjugated.
Looks like they’re going after Bill Maher for saying the n-word too. Equal opportunity shakedown.
Good! the “N-Word” is abominable. It’s a good thing Black rappers NEVER use this horrible word in ANY songs!
If I were him, I’d be starting a new pizza company with the income the 30% of shares provides. That would be so delicious.
No kidding. You’d think he’d just knocked over a little kid’s lemonade stand and took their pet puppy and kitten out of pure spite and meanness.
As I understand, he merely used it in a historical context...?
Glad Tarantino doesn’t get my money. He does it on purpose to turn a buck.
Virtue signaling.
How soon until the New York Times is shut down for insulting the entire LGBT community with their gay love video between Trump and Putin?
Papa John's is a private company. They can do what ever they think is needed for the company.
Schnatter may have legal recourse.
That and he said the end word on a work conference call.
FWIW
Packers’ books show that NFL distributed more than $8 billion
Papa john should go silent and retire. He didn’t build that business. Obama said so.
A helluva lot of good apologizing does. When will the apologies stop? When will people just get brave again. Fight these SOBs! They aren’t used to getting punched back as you can see with Trump. And all he does is win.
