Soda Popinski Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 That's pretty ballsy to think you can drop that word in any conversation without any blowback. But he's rich, so he's got that affluence disease going for him.

He was in a role play so he could actually claim he didn't make a racial slur in a meaningful way. I suppose it can be argued both ways. His use involved claiming "Colonel Sanders used to call black people ******". Funny part?: CNN called KFC for comment. How on Earth is KFC supposed to comment on a possibly completely made up comment about a guy who has been dead for 2,500 yeas? It's funny cause what do you expect KFC to say? " oh yeah, our company founder would use that term all the time, he always wore the white suit because it matched his pointy hood...." And would anyone be shocked that an older southern man over 50 years ago would have used that term? I think the point is that we would hope that we as humans have evolved since then and realised that all races are equal and we are all humans so racism shouldn't exist in the modern world.
Keukasmallies Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 I was in PJ's just once. I ordered a thin crust pizza. The guy opened a drawer and took out what to me looked like a cardboard disc. I walked out. 1

Kaep was an employee of the San Francisco 49ers and no longer has a job. Schattner was an employee of Papa John's shareholders and no longer has a job. Both are presumably out of work because of things they did/said. At its simplest, that's what it boils down to. Details only confuse the matter. I got no problem with NFL owners not wanting to hire Kaep..i 100% believe he had the right to protest and i support his cause..but i also 100% believe he accepts the consequences of his protests. I agree with you in other words...both are gone cause the owners of the business thought the businesses were better off without them. You can call it a white thing, or a black thing..or PC...but what it really is is a green thing Edited July 12, 2018 by plenzmd1 2

The other one decided not to do something as part of a stance against a cause and some have decided to take offence to it because of they believe it to be for other reasons.

What a world we live in. You know which way I lean. But I will tell you that I believe this is complete and utter bull ****. He should have known better than to use that word, regardless of context. But the fact that the founder of a successful company has to step down - to me - is pure crap.

And it don't matter one iota he founded the company.. BTW, the stock is down around 50% since he started making excuses about Kaep being the reason is pizza sucks and sales were down cause no one watched the NFL anymore. This was prolly just the ammo board was looking for to can him. Edited July 12, 2018 by plenzmd1

He was most likely forced out by the board because they found his actions and comments may cost the company money because costumers may not want to spend money their because of him. If he wanted to stay in charge of the company, he shouldn't have sold it as a corporation. He may have been the founder/creator, but he sold it as a corporation and therefore gave up control to a board who's main goal and focus is making their shareholders money. If he does something that may affect that, they can get rid of the problem....... 1

Once shareholders get in the game, quality drops and service goes to pot. It becomes all about the quarterly report. 2

Your right, all the media is ever talking about when the topic of Kaepernick comes up are the socks and shirt, they never mention anything about the anthem or kneeling. The league just implemented the new rules on proper sock and shirts that should be worn in public and practice. Trump cant stop tweeting about how offensive the socks and shirt are. Go ask 20 random people in public why people are offended by the NFL players and Kaepernick and I'm sure they will all say those socks he once wore or his shirt. I'm sure everyone has forgotten about that whole kneeling for the anthem thing......
US Egg Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Chucky Cheese should have been deemed as the official pizza place of the NFL.
