A week that began with reports that Papa John’s founder Papa “John” Schnatter somehow worked an overt hard-r racial slur into a conference call with a marketing company is ending with the removal of Schnatter’s name from virtually everything on which it had previously been emblazoned. There are only so many of these left at this point, but the University of Louisville announced on Friday that it would begin the work of prying Papa’s brand off their football stadium and, uh, The John H. Schnatter Center for Free Enterprise at the Louisville College of Business. He had already withdrawn from the school’s board of trustees on Wednesday, and had stepped down from the school’s Athletic Association back in April.
After Wednesday’s rash of slur-driven disassociations—MLB’s “Papa Slam” promotion and Schnatter’s status as his own company’s chairman of the board were...

I heard a report on local Miami media today that said the company this man founded is attempting to eradicate his presence from their history....or something in a similar vein.
Am I alone in thinking this is absurd? The N word is used ALL THE TIME without punishment by "artists". Does John hate black people?? Or did he merely make an accurate observation about KFC's founder?
And why is KFC getting a pass if this kind of language is now deserving of being banished? And what about the "artists" who use it constantly?
Please tell me what I am missing.
I tell you if I were a multimillionaire, I would be VERY reluctant to donate to a school if it were susceptible to erasing my contribution to the institution.
While we're at it, you know Louisville Kentucky was named after Louis XVI of France. Maybe a little research would unveil some horrible racist attitudes of this French monarch and the school would drop its name and call itself the University of Obama. I am half serious.
Can’t be overkill. It’s gotta be off with the head-no less.
I’m sure there are plenty of fools that would have all the schools and colleges named b.o. institution of learning #_______.
This social purge is being fueled by Cultural Marxism. Wait until this becomes conventional tactics. We will wish we were living in the old Soviet Union when this goes full monty (or zero monty when you are castrated).
We are past entering troubled waters.
He should seek to get his money back.
I hope they refunded all of the money he donated if they were so offended by him.
This is over nothing except leftist extremism.
This david roth sounds like a real left wing parasite dirtbag.
I think it’s over-kill just like everything else today- protest, wipe away history.
I am still waiting for former KKK member, Sen. Byrd’s name to be wiped off every library, street and building.
If I was Poppa John, that is what I would say in a news conference.
I love Poppa John’s sandwiches and will continue to eat there.
Pull everything back bought with that money if at all possible.
So I guess Robert Byrd’s name is being scrubbed with the same vigor.
These phony holier than thou hypocrites wait for someone, somewhere to look like a white supremacist domineering Nazi and they will create one from a humble man in order to destroy him in public for political gain.
You take my name off of a building I sponsored I want the money back.
They’re just using the paula Deen method of Erasure.
Note to self: if I am able fortunate enough to donate big bucks to any institution make certain to include a refund clause if they ever disavow me.
A liberal dim leader is immune, living or dead.
I think he said our newest franchiser is here.
If said institution balks, move on.
A good litmus test.
This is why it is folly to name any structure after a living person or corporation.
The situation is too fluid and people are fallible and corporations go after profits.
I don’t know how many times the Titian’s home stadium has change while Neyland stadium(The Tn Vols home) has remained.
Folly.
