Kinda feels weird. It's like if you removed Mickey Mouse from Disney.

He gave a shit ton of money to his high school and I guess they're giving it back and taking his name off everything.

I still know a ton of people working at papa John's and they say it's just been nuts this week. Email after email about what they should say if certain questions are asked and just all types of junk.

Either gonna be Papa Steve's or Papa Ritchie's here soon probably.

Well that reason is why Disney is trying so hard to be inclusive.

It's a pre-emptive change to combat the naysayers before they say anything.
