The Seattle Seahawks announced they won’t be partners with Papa John’s Pizza any longer. Company founder Papa John Schnatter recently admitted to using a racial slur in a conference call in May. He didn’t use just any racial slur either. Schnatter went all in and used the n-word. As a result of the furor, he’s resigned as the company chairman, and Papa John’s is removing him from all of its marketing.
The Seahawks, along with the Mariners, have had enough of the company in general and dumped the pizza company like last week’s leftover slice crammed in the back of the fridge.
