Rangers reinstate Papa John's partnership, bring back half-price pizza promotion

Half-price pizza is a thing again for Rangers fans.

With a two-paragraph statement Wednesday, the Rangers reversed course and reinstated their advertising and promotional partnerships with Papa John's Pizza. The club had suspended its relationship with the chain on July 13 in the wake of a scandal surrounding founder John Schnatter and his use of a racial insult.

"Papa John's has taken a number of meaningful steps to address the reprehensible language used by John Schnatter," the Rangers statement said. "Most importantly, the company has removed Schnatter from any role with Papa John's. The company has acknowledged the hurt that was caused and accepted responsibility for doing whatever is necessary to regain the trust of its customers, partners and employees.
