Ahh, it's good to see the jackass finally getting his.
Papa Jerk may finally have gotten his ass run out of town because of his mouth.
Forbes Magazine reported that "Papa John" Schnatter (he of the moated multi-dozen car garage and other conservative excesses) made the point, in opposition to the NFL National Anthem protests, that Colonel Sanders called Black people n-----s, and faced no repercussions.
He's now out of Papa John's completely, and has been removed from all branding. Major League Baseball and many other corporate partners have ended their sponsorship deals with Papa John's. As one example, the NFL has gone to Pizza Hut (as a result of Papa John's actions regarding the protests last fall).
I'm pleasantly surprised -- it would appear that using the slur would actually fit him in well with America's right, and I will be very interested to see if pro-slur boycotts are forthcoming.
Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy, though.
