Yea, he did stuff that obviously made you think he was probably racist, especially blaming low sales on the protests in the nfl.

But to say that in a conference call, god damn. And even if he didn't use the n word, its like telling the officer "but the other drivers were speeding too!" But even dumber since col sandees died in 1980.

We're on the internet and that's something you could easily look up yourself.

As for this John guy, I like the pizza, never liked the guy. Ah well, he can retire early and sit in his ridiculous mansion for the rest of his life.

"Colonel Sanders was born in 1890, which was 28 years after the Civil War, so the old rumor that he owned a southern plantation and owned slaves never happened.

As I am a professional Colonel Harland Sanders impersonator, I am an expert on the old southern gentleman from Corbin, KY. In all of my deep research on the man I have never came across anything which would have indicated that he was racist in any form."

So yea, no stories out there. So papa john being even more prejudice assuming he surely said it.

And even if the person he was saying did, the guy died in 1980, the country is much less forgiving now in 2018 with people that use racist terms.

A simple yes or no wouldve sufficed.

I don't think there is a definite yes or no answer to that question though.

Everyone says stupid shit, get over it.

They actually don't. It's not hard to not say the N-word.

It's also not hard to not say some of the prejudicial bullshit leftists say on a daily basis, but they don't lose their career over it.

Because I'm sick of the self-righteous attitude people on this board have while also expressing blatantly hateful and biased opinions

It's a freaking echo chamber, and I would think half the board was just bots if the moderators didn't do the exact same shit.

My dude, he literally said a racial slur.


Exactly, he could've said what he wanted without using the word.

Yeah and it was dumb to say the word given how sensitive our current world is. But I'd argue that simply saying the word in this context shouldn't be the mortal sin that people say it is. You guys are giving that word an awful lot of power.

Forget the word itself for a moment, I'd argue that regardless, the context he was using it in is troubling enough.

It was dumb to say. Period. Fuck this blame everyone for being sensitive shit. Dude got fucked for constantly saying stupid shit, to the point where his company had to get a PR firm to talk to him directly about this - at which time, he doubled down in the dumbest way possible.

Hes responsible for the dumb shit he says. Fuck making excuses for it. Fuck blaming it on anyone else.


Exactly, if this was his ONLY incident, yea I could see people saying people are treating it like a mortal sin, tho it STILL would be pretty bad. But on top of the shit he's done in the past year or so, with the blaming low sales on fl players protesting, which cost them being the NFL's sponser. Yea dude had it coming.
