Papa Johns’ founder John Schnatter will step down as CEO following an intense backlash sparked by his criticism of NFL players protesting the National Anthem. The company’s president, Steve Ritchie, will take over as CEO.
Business Insider reports:
Schnatter sparked controversy in November when he slammed NFL leadership over the ongoing national anthem protests.
“Leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership,” CEO John Schnatter said in a call with investors. […]
Schnatter owns roughly 25% of Papa John’s, and will stay on as chairman after stepping down as CEO in January. According to a press release from the company, he will “pursue his personal passion for entrepreneurship, leadership development and education.” […]
Schnatter has moved away from public political discussions following the Obamacare controversy. The CEO donated $1,000 to President Trump’s campaign but did not make any effort to publicly support the politician.

Bye Bye Papa Johns!
Looks like a good time to buy a Papa John’s pizza and then NOT watch a NFL game.
I’d be interested in the recipe. Who doesn’t love good pizza ?
Their pizza is pretty good, but I’ll never buy it again because of this.
Write to them and tell them you’ll no longer support them because Schnatter is out.
The Papa John’s in my neighborhood just went out recently.
Not surprised, we got pizza from there once and it wasn’t very good.
I make pizza from either refrigerated bread dough or a can of dinner rolls, spread out on either a cookie sheet or cake pan - bake the crust and then add the ingredients we like - pepperoni for the kids and men, plain for the girls, with good-quality cheese, sometimes sausage and onions depending on what we have on hand. Husband loves anchovies but no one else does, LOL.
There are NEVER any leftovers and my family asks for my homemade pizza often.
Papa John’s Pizza is okay, but I love homemade pizza. Oh well, I’ll save money but making my pizza...

"Wait, this is all dressed up as a reprisal when it's doesn't look like it to me.Schnatter owns roughly 25% of Papa John’s, and will stay on as chairman after stepping down as CEO in January.
It's as good of an excuse as any, but maintaining his chairmanship ... lol, he probably wanted out as CEO cause that's an actual 9-5 24/7 job. So don't boycott Papa Johns on account of this."

“...following an intense backlash sparked by his criticism of NFL players protesting the National Anthem.”
So is the backlash from fans who support the kneeling players, fans who don’t like Papa John’s association with the NFL or fans that dont like the CEO backtracking on his criticism of NFL leadership?
I’ll never buy another. Pizza is actually pure junk food, slathered in fat, grease, amd salt. Pizza ranks # 1 for the most unhealthy food for dinner.
