Not totally surprised since his previous issue with the NFL but I guess he's just a full-blown racist now so everyone is dropping him and the company. Nice work!

I miss the pizza. The closest one to us shut down awhile back. Probably because it's a massive college town and they blackballed it after his original idiocy. LOL

Yeah, I had a papa john's and a dominos right down the street from my apartment in college so I spent a decent chunk of change (but not really cause they often had really good deals in my area) on their pizza. Don't really have one close to me now but I'd probably not spend a lot of money there anyway with better options now available to me.

The pizza was decent for the price, that's for sure.

The only good news would be if Papa John's shut down and the franchise was replaced by a pizza place that didn't suck.

To be fair, when on a conference call with a PR firm whose job it is to fix the fact that consumers hate seeing your face in commercials, you should probably avoid saying the n-word all together. He literally could have just said "Colonel Sanders had some not so colorful language back in the day." But giving him any kind of benefit of the doubt on it ignore the fact that Sanders was born in 1890s and shouldn't really be used as one's moral compass.

I actually agree; I was just trolling. >_> The headlines for this story, though, did make me think he point-blank called somebody the n-word.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I don't think someone like him is really in a position to use it ever but there is a difference between using it in a conversation (albeit stupidly) than using it as a slur at someone.

On the other hand, him claiming he said it accidentally in his apology just makes me think he's comfortable saying it in his daily life around his own circle of people which makes it also not okay.

Totally the same way. I've barely ever met a pizza I didn't like. Fresh, pizza chain, local place, frozen... Not too picky.

I used to eat their pizza regularly. It was the only place I could get something like spinach, chicken and mushroom with that garlic parmesan Alfredo sauce.

But Domino's has done a good job of expanding their toppings and sauces so I get those sort of pizzas there now.

First of all anyone can say it. No one is stopping you from saying it. If you're famous or represent something (a business) there will be reactions to it.

The dumbass used an offensive slur at work on a conference call and word got out about it. The word is still offensive and not at all appropriate to use in the workplace even in the context of a joke.

I don't think he was using it as a joke. According to the article, he was using it to "convey his distaste for racism". I'm not saying it was ok, but I also don't think he meant to offend. But I also don't know what was going on in his head, so...

It was stupid and offensive regardless of context. Thats not a word to use in the workplace.

Papa Johns would probably be in a better position than they are if the man had stepped down several controversies ago, he clearly lacks good judgement.

It's scribbled hundreds of times all over the notes for the original recipe in the Colonel's own mixture of blood and chicken grease. Stamped with his personal seal, the blood pentagram super imposed over the illuminati eye. Hence why it is kept from the public since opening the document creates a portal to hell, which is the main component to the chickens crispyness.
