Papa John's founder apologizes for using racial slur on conference call

“This is the danger when organizations are too tied to a personality,” Hill told CNBC. “We saw it with Subway and Jared ... when things are going well and those people are popular, and they are doing smart things, it works. But then you have a single point of failure and it’s that person’s actions that reflect on the entire organization.”

already. He’s a full blown racist, we all know that. He makes shitty pizza too. Why are we paying him any mind? What’s he going to say? “I’m sorry I’m a racist and I’m sorry I make really bad pizza?”

First they made his pizza taste terrible and now they're making him say awful things. When will this end?

What was he talking about? His clientele? His employees? The guy who mows his lawn?

When they got bored on the weekends they would tie a black (n-gg- -) to the back bumper of a truck and drag the guy around the back roads until he was dead. Young white guys just having a little fun.

Nazi pigs !
