Rangers suspend business relationship with Papa John's

The Rangers7 half-price pizza promotion is on hold indefinitely.

The Texas Rangers joined the long list of other MLB franchises and various sports teams to suspend their marketing and promotional relationships with Papa John’s, whose founder, John Schnatter, utter a racial slur during a May conference call.

Part of the agreement with the Rangers included a half-price pizza promotion the day after the Rangers scored seven runs in a game. In addition that that being suspended, the Rangers will no longer show any Papa John’s signage during home games.

Schnatter, the face of the pizza chain, resigned Wednesday as chairman of the board after confirming that he used a slur during a PR training session.
