Wingnut pizza mogul Papa John Schnatter is hanging up the pizza peel:
Papa John’s Founder To Step Down As CEO After Backlash Over NFL Comments https://t.co/A71ZgKK4OM via @TPM

Schnatter is the cheap prick who previously caught flak for lamenting the additional $0.14-per-pie cost of insuring his employees after the ACA passed.
He was a Trump donor and took up Trump’s line about the NFL players’ BLM protests, claiming it cost his chain of ketchup-encrusted hardtack purveyors $70 million.
White supremacists publicly made Papa John’s their official pizza chain, which made decent folks give it the side-eye. That actually did hurt business.
So, Schnatter will remain chairman and continue to be obscenely wealthy. I’m sure Trump’s tax scam will shower him with extra wealth.
But it turns out that if the public face of your company is a Trumpster, that’s bad for business. Good.
Shitty politics. Shitty pizza. Papa John’s.Post + Comments (173)
