Orioles suspend Papa John's 'Five Runs or More' promotion after founder's resignation

In the wake of the resignation of Papa John’s Pizza founder John Schnatter after he used a racial slur during a conference call, the Orioles have suspended their “Five Runs or More” online promotion with the company.

Every time the Orioles scored five runs or more in a game this season, customers received a 50 percent discount the following day on regularly-priced Papa John’s menu items ordered online by using a promo code.

Major League Baseball also suspended its “Papa Slam” promotion with the company — which provided fans a 40 percent discount on online orders the day after a grand slam was hit during a major league game — Yahoo!
