| Papa John's without John. The controversial CEO is fired out the cannon after he made remarks about NFL players taking a knee and his slumping sales. |
Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is out.
He was fired out the cannon after he made racially charged comments about NFL players protesting against Donald J. Trump. The pizza company started to tank when Schnatter told his shareholders that the NFL is ruining his business. He wanted the team owners to put an end to the kneeling.
The company is based out of Louisville, Kentucky and is the official pizza company of the NFL.
The company took a nosedive in sales and they are shutting locations nationwide.
It also took a major hit when that Neo Nazi nut who claims he left Columbus, Ohio for the desert of Lagos, Nigeria called upon his faithful supporters to buy the pizza. He said, "Papa John's is the official pizza of the alt-right."
This wasn't the first time Schnatter made the news. He openly said that if he offers a fair living wage to employees, he would raise the prices of food.
He also said that the Affordable Care Act was a job killing law. He was not willing to pay his employees and owners the health coverage.
Schnatter supported the candidacy of Trump. He also took shots at the competitors when they were offering deals for needy families.
Now by the end of January, Schnatter will step down as CEO but remain a chairman for the time being.
The local Papa John's in my neighborhood just recently closed up shop.
