Major League Baseball is doing its best to cut all ties with Papa John’s and its racist founder, with Derek Jeter and the Miami Marlins leading the charge.
A recording of John Schnatter using the N-word was uncovered by Forbes on Wednesday, and the ex-CEO stepped down shortly after.

...
I saw no evidence that he’s a racist.
Why would this be published? Can any good come from it?
Bad pizza is the scourge of the earth.
Dangerous times in the US
Papa John is being smeared and attacked for not toeing the line.
The word Racist means very little today
What, is Papa John’s also a Rap Music production firm?
MLB, Papa John’s...got no use for either....give them guns and let them fire at each other.
I'd suggest baseball fans boycott the Marlins but most are anyway.
I don’t even like mass-market pizza, but this makes me want to go out and buy some PJ pie. This whole thing is insanity.
They’re niggardly with their cheese, I know that much.
I read in another article that he said something like “Colonel Sanders said ‘n[egro]’ all the time.” It was during a phonecall with a marketing firm, discussing how to handle touchy PR problems. Is there any evidence he actually used the N-word in an intentionally insulting way?
Exactly. Now pointing out a racist word that SHOULDN’T be said is somehow racist.
Look for the liberal Democrat that wants control of Papa John’s.
Anyone get the opinion of Eric Smith, the guy who attends Miami Marlins home games?
Nice slander, New York Daily News. Same birdcage liner that runs all those ridiculous back pages depicting Donald Trump in clown makeup.
never liked their pizza especially the crust but this seems a little much that many businesses are falling prey to pc freaks. offense is many times a repeated choice of people who like to live as victims
Exactly! And when will these people learn that an apology never helps. They’ll persecute you either way, so why bother?
That’s exactly what happened. He referred to its use in an insulting context by Col Sanders. Obama did the same thing on a public radio show while president and the media yawned I guess because of black privilege. Bill Maher used it as his words but as a joke and held onto his job because he’s a lib.
Bottom line is there is zero benefit to not just referring to it as the n-word. If you are white and not a socialist in good standing, the SJW’s will destroy you. Destroy you. He’s being called a racist for referring to its racist use by someone else?! It’s BS, but you have to be smart and we have up ruthlessly demand that they abide by their rules, even if it doesn’t work most of the time. They should be made to worry that there’s a chance that they’ll be irreparably damaged too.
I think their fans cut ties with the team
I got to boo Jeter on that play.
I bet that a lot of restaurants hand out race-specific scholarships with race-specific meaning not White.
Do black people lose their jobs for degrading “whites” or saying cracker, or kneeling at NFL games to call the nation rascist?
