'Papa John' Schnatter evicted from company headquarters in Louisville
Fox News ^ | July 16, 2018 | Michael Bartiromo

“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.

Papa John’s International says it has further asked Schnatter to refrain from speaking to the media about the pizza chain. The company will also “oversee” an investigation “related to diversity and inclusion.”

Schnatter’s latest controversy began on July 11, when Forbes reported of Schnatter’s use of the racial slur during a May conference call with a marketing firm....

“Is there some end to it?

Slavery, death or freedom. The way things are going the consequence of seeking freedom may be death. At this point the majority seem to be choosing slavery. In the future that may no longer be the comfortable choice.

“Subjugation or their attempt to bypass the 13th Amendment?”

I don’t suspect that I will be subjugated by the majority owners of a pizza chain or that I need to worry about their denying me of my rights under the 13th Amendment.

he was baited into the discussion in a phone call that was corporate payback for him sounding off about the NFL’s siding with the players over BLM protests during games.

He wasn’t using the term in an offhanded or insulting or self-identified manner. He was referencing someone else’s use of the term. He was also in dutch for bringing up hate crimes that he grew up hearing about on the news when he was growing up. Touched off one of the snowflakes on the call. He wasn’t saying that he supported dragging men to their deaths behind cars.

He was run off because his politics weren’t marxist lib.

People constantly use God’s name as a curse.

They blaspheme the name of Jesus—the name above ALL names.

These are nearly mandatory in Hollywood films which are also filled with every sort of vile deeds and language, including the N-word.

But only when a person uses the N-word, even in the context of an explanation, is a career-ending offense...

Unless, of course, you are a black or partially black person. Then it can be a hilarious joke.

Further, conservatives are constantly being accused of racism with absolutely no evidence. It is tiresome. The race-baiters and false accusers need to have their own careers crushed. They need to be removed from civil society.

And the NFL is having these problems because the ORIGINAL NFL boycott was going to by black fans who wanted more black representation in the team organization running things and for some team to hire Collin K.

by bowing to them and subverting their proposed protests instead saying it was over police violence, they p!ssed off the rest of the fan base and didn’t want to admit their error in judgment.

Joe was on “the wrong side” of this argument and had to be terminated with extreme prejudice.

The Mozilla firing was an even worse case of homofascism.

He gave his own money to the prop 8 campaign which passed by popular vote.

His donor name was leaked by the IRS.

He was fired for being on the wrong side of the issue of same sex marriage when the majority of the public agreed with him and even Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had publicly rejected the notion of same sex marriage.

This Papa Johns meltdown is pretty much the new template to strip everything, EVERYTHING honoring racist democrat Robert Byrd from West Virginia.

Fact is PapaJohns Shatner blasted the NFL. This seems to be a globalist club retaliation for that

I can only think of 2 movies before the 1970s that used that word. And in each case it was only used once.

Timothy Carey in Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing (1956) and Godfrey Cambridge in Ted Flicker’s The President’s Analyst (1967).

compare this with the movies of the 70s or the films of Quentin Tarantino or the gangsta films of the 1980s and 1990s.

“Ah yes, Sambo’s - The pancake house named after the story of the african kid who stopped a tiger”

Actually, Sambo was from southern India. How black americans glommed onto his story to be offended is beyond me.

“But he does have 30% of the vote. If he can gather up 21% of the stock through alliances or purchases he can take over the company again.”

More better to cash out, flip the finger to revolutionary socialist America and go enjoy life. Buy a nice house, install a nice pizza oven, enjoy life.

The man is INNOCENT. He quoted another person during a discussion at a training session. He himself did not use the ni**er word.

Honestly, this is one of the most un-American miscarriages of justice which I have ever witnessed. It is so, so wrong.
****************************************
That’s true although most people don’t now that. There’s more here than meets the eye. Perhaps some social justice group is using this tactic to seize power within the corporation.
