“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....

Have his kids been expelled from their private school yet? Has their church given them the boot? How about their country club? I've never seen anything like this.

Nazi Germany did these types of things.

Why? Because he spoke the word no white man should ever speak? Well done with this over the top crap.

Indeed they did.

Now what are we going to do about it?

Since he owns a reportedly 30% of Papa John shares, stockholder meetings are going to be a blast.

I wonder how many people of different races and ethnic backgrounds he is responsible for re getting a job.

Our business leaders are cowards and fools. Now I have another business to boycott and I love pizza.

First football, then basketball, now pizza. The Left has certainly organized the fools to work for them destroying America.

That’s so stupid. Everyone has muttered ugly words here and there during a long lifetime. I’d be willing to bet those acting the most ‘outraged’ have said the same things or worse about other minorities.

All this is continued sour grapes because he did not support the kneeling NFL players. That’s all this is.

The ironic thing is that the easily offended of the Left are the majority of real raging racists in this country. You don’t even get to be race neutral, live and let live, in the eyes of these loons.

You are either with them on their terms or against them.

You have a heritage that they don’t like? Too bad.

Increasongly you don’t even have the right to exist except on their terms and with the dig them up and shoot them again because they didn’t die hard enough the first time crowd you ultimately don’t even get that if they ever got their way.

As real old time racism waned in this country a root of bitterness grew among some and created a new form of race Radical for whom vicarious suffering is injury enough just as vicarious guilt is imputed because now we should judge by the color of skin rather than the content of character.

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.

This is the guy who started “Papa Johns” ? Eh , let the idiots who overreacted to a conference call have the f ‘in company..(after he cashes out!)....amazing ....I use that word every so often and it usually ties in with a reference to an ignorant person.....I have no problem with it . A lot of people seem to be walking on eggshells in all that they do or say so as not to offend someone...ya know ? some people need to be offended. Just my thoughts on this article...I am so over the PC reaction to such trite and trivial things....

I read he was QUOTING another person. If I quote a rapper, should I be driven into the sea? With my family and dogs?

It is well past time to teach EVERYONE in America an old saying:

“Stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!”

Either that, or I get to shoot anyone who calls me anything I dislike. Here is a basic principle of functional society: People WILL offend you. Get over it!
