~~IIRC, that dude got fired for asking a PR rep "why can't I say n----r?" in a call that got leaked.~~

//edited for specific details because it's way funnier

So he had been publically pushing against the NFL protests like a racist, and people didn't like it. The company hired a PR firm to help, and in a conference call with them he was whining about wokism or whatever and defended himself by claiming that, "Colonel Sanders called blacks n----rs." The call audio was promptly leaked

He resigned. Three days later the Papa John's cancelled the lease on his office and had him evicted lmfao. Within two weeks they implemented a policy that if John ever tries to buy more stock, all other stockholders can buy stock at half off to prevent him from ever controlling the company. Dude got fuckin razzmatazzed by his own pizza corporation.

Their pizza is still overpriced, dry, and bland tho.

Oh my goodness, that epilogue to the events in question is like a rich and creamy dessert, I had no idea the repercussions were so swift and severe.

Thank you for posting this, I'm amazed that I didn't know the broader arc of the story.
