Papa John’s pizza founder John Schnatter resigned Wednesday as chairman of the board after he apologized for using a racial slur during a conference call in May.
After news of Schnatter’s use of the N-word during a training call, Major League Baseball indefinitely suspended its Papa Slam promotion with Papa John’s, Yahoo Sports reported.
Beginning in 2016, when a Major League Baseball player hit a grand slam, the league called it a “Papa Slam,” and fans received 40 percent off their order at Papa John’s the next day by using an online coupon code, the Yahoo story noted.
