NEW YORK (CBSNews) — The fallout continued Friday for Papa John’s, as business partners and even universities that have accepted large sums from the pizza chain’s founder scrambled to distance themselves after John Schnatter admitted using a racial slur during a business call.
The University of Louisville announced that the school’s football stadium will no longer carry the Papa John’s name. The stadium is to be redubbed “Cardinal Stadium” effective immediately, university president Neeli Bendapudi said Friday.
Later that day, Schnatter admitted to using the N-word on a conference call and apologized, but said it was taken out of context.
