‘Papa John’ Schnatter Thinks It’s Racist For Shaq To Be The Face Of Papa John’s

John Schnatter is still at war with the company he once founded.

Schnatter, the founder of Papa John’s Pizza, left the company back in 2018 after he faced internal backlash for using the n-word during a conference call.

Schnatter claims that his use of the n-word was taken out of context and assured everyone that a “day of reckoning” was going to come down on Papa John’s.

The company has since moved on by making NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal the face of the brand which doesn’t sit well with the company’s founder.

“Of all the things that was the most racist. They used a black guy to cover up what they did to a white guy.

That’s racist… He was just a shield to cover up what they did to me.” Schnatter said during an interview with Jason Whitlock.

Schnatter alleges he was set up by Papa John’s executives, who conspired against him after he publicly bashed the NFL for not handling national anthem protestors.

During the interview with Whitlock, Schnatter claims that he was the one who ended Papa John’s relationship with the NFL.

“I fired Goodell. I got rid of them. That’s on the record. The NFL was playing dirty. Roger Goodell is a dirty guy. He’s a coward. I don’t want to be associated with it. I don’t care how powerful they are, I don’t want to be in business with the NFL.”
