Bombshell recording exonerates Papa John's founder of racism accusations

[Ex Lurker]

was a setup attempt to oust him from the company. Charges like this are so incendiary that it's equally important when they're proven wrong https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bombshell-recording-exonerates-papa-johns-220000961.html

1. Wow !

[Treefrog]

2. Interesting story. That's pretty scary.

4. He needs to sue both companies out of business.

I can’t believe this to be honest.

[Atticus]

3. I have no use at all for this Trumpie, but if this recording is legit, I hope he wins his lawsuit.

You have to wonder, though, if he somehow does not realize that Trump would applaud and admire the tactics apparently used against him.

5. That's done nasty stuff.

But didn’t he say just a few weeks ago that he’s been working to stop use that word?

[Sympthsical]

6. I would not have guessed this

The man seems like such a flaming asshole, it wasn't too difficult to believe he'd have used some language. Didn't he just make the news not too long ago because he said he was trying to work on his racist language, and the internet mocked him because it isn't exactly difficult not to say the n-word?

If this is true, the lawsuit will be a doozy.

7. He may not be a nice person

but even not nice people don't deserve to be framed.

11. If he was"framed," who did it?

It's just his law firm's press release.

If this is true at all, it could be that board wanted him.out because he was a liability. After all, he was known beforehand as offensive.

8. This isn't a news story, it is a press release from Schnatter

Not sure why we're fluffing that MAGAT here

[dawg day]

9. At the bottom is says, "source John Schnatter.,"

Probably accounts for the weirdly outraged tone of the article.

I'm not sure what it means... he never actually said anything racist? Or he was tricked into saying racist things? Or that his own board set him up? Or this rogue company just maliciously set him up? Or... ?

The article doesn't go much into the "why".

10. He definitely should sue Wasserman and Stein.

12. He is not a very nice person but he shouldn't be framed.
