@davillain-: You like his pizza?! You must a cast iron stomach.

BTW...Is it just me, or does he look like the garlic sauce that comes with the food is seeping out his pores?

You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe he was a victim in all of this. The easier explanation? He opened his loud mouth and he's surprised that there are consequences to his actions and words.

Ok, I don't have two hours to watch all that. Can someone please summarize his defense for me? Thanks.

@Solaryellow: these articles help sum up the things he said that got him in trouble; from criticizing the way the NFL handled the national anthem protests a few years back, and blaming the league for decreasing sales of his products (he was one of their biggest sponsors at the time), to saying some problematic things during board meetings--including dropping the N-bomb, during one of them. When news broke about it, he stepped down as chairman.

Yeah, I suppose it's one of those things that differs in quality depending on what area you're in.

All these people worrying and supporting him are pathetic. Guy was forced into early retirement, that's about as bad as it got, and received millions. You're all just fretting over his hurt pride and frankly that is a waste of time.

The only thing worse than this whole ordeal is that fact there was an ordeal at all. The guy said something, who cares.

Guy is also a liar, sells people the American Dream like it's as easy as simply putting time and effort into something and you can be a millionaire, and that's a load of shit. "Oh yeah all I did was started selling pizza at my dad's bar and next thing you know I'm a millionaire blah blah blah".

@ProtossRushX said:

No. Dude, just no.

First off, he lives in a castle. A CASTLE! Except it's not an actual castle like you see in Europe, it's some McCastle kitsch'y thing like you'd expect some nouveau-riche jackass would buy.

Plus it has an underground parking lot where he stores all his super rare and expensive cars.

So no. He is not a decent, down to earth guy. He is a rich 0.01% that doesn't care 0.0000000001% as much about you as you do about him.

*Oh and he has his hands insured for $15 million. Reeeeeeeeeeeally down to earth, that.

I agree with your overall message, but John Schnatter sounds like a really terrible person, a really terrible boss. It sounds like it'd be like working for Richard Nixon or something. Paranoid, power tripping, mercurial, perverted, and generally angry.

and the butter sauce. Probably their one redeeming quality imo.

Their pizzas are like if a frozen pizza factory just gave you a pizza off the line before it was frozen, like a fresh "frozen" pizza. They always seem so dry.

What does that have to do with this particular guy? People didn't dig up stuff on him, the guy just opened his big fat mouth on a conference call and made it worse from there.

You both sound like some cry babies.

@HoolaHoopMan: lol I didn't cry just called out your dumb ass observation. You think he was surprised their were consequences? I didn't even pitty him wtf are you talking about? Jesus christ you lefties are delusional.

"Buh buh he said the N word... make sure we ruin him for the rest of his life because that word hurts my feelings.." lol I'm sorry but you are a triggered baby. I always thought it was hillarious that a single word could steal someone's soul. How pathetic do you have to be to let a word hold that much power over you. It's sad really.

So you're just another mouth breather with nothing to add to the actual topic at hand then.

For someone who 'doesn't care' you sure get riled up pretty easily.

I actually used to dislike Papa John's pizza, the sauce always tasted weirdly sweet to me. Hadn't eaten it in many, many years, until last year. And it actually seems pretty decent to me now. I think it might have something to do with getting the pizza at a different location.

I like that they offer by-the-slice pizza also. Most of the other chains don't. Tuesdays are great since you can get cheap slices.

I think between Little Caesar's, Domino's and Papa John's they all have something going for them. Domino's probably makes pizzas the fastest, and Caesar's has the cheapest large pepperoni pizzas. Pizza Hut, ironically, has some decent non-pizza stuff like their pastas and breadsticks.

Everyone around here would declare blasphemy and point to all of the local NY-style pizza shops we've got around. I don't care though, I like chains lol.

Little Ceasar's was always one of my favorites. Pizza Hut and Dominoes are in the bottom tier with the likes of McDonalds and Burger King in as much as I never touch the stuff. Back in my poor young man there was an LC in a strip mall a few blocks from my apartment. I used to walk over and play a "Simon"-like memory game they had for a quarter. If you scored high enough, you got a free medium pizza (limit one per week) or a cheesy bread for the next highest tier score which you could win as often as daily. I got a lot of free food from that place.

@Byshop: I remember the Simon game at LC! I also remember when they had some toys for kids, like a cube you could fold several times to show different pictures of the Caesar people.

I watched this whole thing a few days ago. Honestly, Papa comes off as a dope. This interview was very underwhelming and he is not very articulate or interesting at all. I wasn't hoping for much- but he presents himself like a dumbass from the Southern US. (More or less what we all thought he was)

I tried his pizza a couple times at work. Tasted like greasy cardboard. One of the other times they had it, I brought in left over Little Caesars.

I remember that game! Do you also remember the white chocolate/dark chocolate cannolis they used to have?
