Ehhh his pizza sucks. So F him just for that

His pizza used to be really good before it became so, so mass produced.

What many don't know is John's money isn't all from pizza. He made much of his money with his ingredient cart. I'm not sure if he still owns the patent but if you go into any pizza chain, the cart they keep the ingredients on, John invented it. It allows the ingredients to be stored and rolled into the cooler from the line. Pizza Hutt, Dominos, Little Caesars, all bought and used his cart.

Back in the late 80's some of my friends built the stainless parts for them. John made a ton of money on the carts.

Typical overreaction.

I'm a black guy and I still eat his pizza. I wouldn't like anyone to call me the N-word but news flash, everyone isn't going to like you or say pleasing things every second about you.

And he DIDN'T call anyone the N word! He used it in a sentence claiming Col. Sanders called people that. That's what makes this so absurd.

When Black football players say They will not set foot into a stadium with His name sake attached to it, it must have hurt a lot of feelings on that team, so words do have meaning. Granted the Col. likely did say stuff but He has been gone since 1980 and KFC was not a part of YUM which didn't exist then.

I bet few if any actually know what was said, just that it was controversial.

Why do you assume black players wouldn't know what he said? Like they wont read any of the articles or watch any of the news stories? This is some vaguely racist bull**** like the argument that most of the NFL players kneeling don't know why they are doing it. Like they are inherently stupid, or less intelligent that the rest of the population.

Good for him. The guy may be an axx, but this whole situation smacks of a shakedown by a company (Laundry Service/Wasserman) that is under incredible financial pressure. It is also very typical of the SJW, PC world we now live in. From all reports the use of the word was in a story, not something that flew out of his mouth in his day to day conversation. There is a lot more to this story.

Louisville has an issue here. As someone mentioned, the smart move would have been to hold off before making a rash decision. Fear of backlash from SJW's on University campuses is out control. The Louisville President needed to take a breath, do the legwork and get the entire story before deciding. This is going to cost Louisville a lot of money before all is said and done.

So those who thought he was out of line ar just social justice warrior? How is it a shakedown when they decide to stop working with him and lose money by walking away? You don't seem bright, just more of the conservative world we live in where people don't want to be held accountable for their terrible behavior.

Once the smoke cleared and the university found no wrongdoing on Jurich's part. They settled out of court with him. That left Schnatter in a bad spot.

When he opened his mouth and said something he should not have said, his employer and the university pounced. His employer canned after his previous comments about NFL players cost the company millions. UofL cut all ties with him because of his part in the aforementioned firing of Jurich.

Truth is John could have weathered this lone incident. He didn't direct the racial slur toward an African-American. He used the word in a discussion about his public image compared to Harland Sanders of KFC. A good PR firm could have helped him if he had not burnt so many bridges.

John may try to bluff Louisville as far as the stadium's name is concerned but I doubt any judge or jury, certainly not one in Louisville, is going to find in his favor considering his inability to keep his mouth shut. A good attorney is going to make John look like a racist based on his recent comments about the NFL players and African Americans. UofL would also argue that it could not maintain a relationship with a racist.

That's an emotional response to the situation. Emotion's have nothing to do with the law. His "racist" comments about NFL players? What was racist about disagreeing with them. Maybe I missed something. Calling his coming out against players not standing for this country's national anthem and racism is nothing more then political correctness gone mad.

The contract the University signed to have his name on the stadium will decide this case. It will be mediated, and settled out of court. The University of Louisville will be paying him something. Bank on it.

And seriously, your President texted the guy?

Political correctness gone mad? But him saying that the protests have hurt his profits which was in fact untrue is totally cool? You really don't want people of a certain way of thinking held accountable for their ****** actions do you?

Yes it was. It used to be really really good. You never ordered "extra cheese" because that was just standard. But once they expanded, they changed from using "store bought" ingredients per se, to making their own. Their cheese isn't as good, for example, as the Kraft cheese they had been using. Their meats they made themselves, were not as good as the Fischer's bacon and Old Folk's sausage (local brands), or the Hormel pepperoni they had been using.

The sauce was also a lot spicier, and you could smell them making it for a half mile away. The first Papa Johns was right across the street from my house, as in my address was 1334 and theirs was 1333. But once they expanded, his investors convinced him to make things in-house to tighten the purse strings, and the quality went down.
