John Schnatterthe founder, chairman and public face of pizza chain Papa Johnsused the N-word on a conference call in May, a source with knowledge of the event told Forbes.
The call was arranged between Papa Johns executives and marketing agency Laundry Service. It was designed as a role-playing exercise for Schnatter in an effort to prevent future public-relations snafus. Schnatter caused an uproar in November 2017 when he waded into the debate over national anthem protests in the NFL and partly blamed the league for slowing sales at Papa Johns. On the May call, Schnatter was asked how he would distance himself from racist groups online. He responded by downplaying the significance of his NFL statement. Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s, Schnatter allegedly said, before complaining that Sanders never faced public backlash. Schnatter also reflected on his early life in Indiana, where, he said, people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died. He apparently intended for the remarks to convey his antipathy to racism, but multiple individuals on the call found them to be offensive, the source said. After learning about the incident, Laundry Service owner Casey Wasserman moved to terminate the companys contract with Papa Johns. https://www.forbes.com/sites/noahkirsch/2018/07/11/papa-johns-founder-john-schnatter-allegedly-used-n-word-on-conference-call/#41ce6ffa4cfc how do you fuck up a pr coaching so bad that it becomes another pr gaffe --- ...

For real, like how dense do you have to be to not get why it was utterly improper for him to say? He's having a conference call in a business setting. I don't know how many of those you've actually sat through but they are generally dry, straightforward meetings without a lot of colorful language in general. Let alone profanity. Let alone racial slurs.
Compound the fact that it's a word a lot of people are uncomfortable with, and there's absolutely no excuse for him to say it. If anything, it's more telling of what kind of person he is than anything because if he's casual enough to throw it around like that then he likely uses it in a much broader range of situations --- butts ...
