"Papa John" Schnatter is out as member of UofL Board Of Trustees

[TheDeuce]

PJ is a FAR superior product, I don't think it's even close, especially when talking LC regular offerings. Some of their specialty stuff is better than their regular offerings, but not better than PJ in quality and taste. Price, sure...but it's a lot cheaper for a reason too.

 

Of course PJ has more offerings. But if we're talking a pepperoni pizza, PJ is not leaps and bounds better than LC, and especially not when PJ is more than double the price. IMO.

Pizza for pizza, PJ is just far better IMO. Better ingredients, more of them, better taste, etc. Now maybe the LC's near me are just awful and maybe there are better locations out there, I don't know, but any I have had all seem to be pretty much the same to me...almost flavorless with little ingredients on them.

 

And yes, PJ is overpriced for sure.

I mean if I'm really craving pizza, I'm not going to either one of those places. :lol2:

Let's keep this discussion to Schnatter and talk about who has the best pizza in another thread.

Football players now calling for the name to come off the stadium. This has turned into a big headache for the university, as well.

Who replaces him on the board now?

The reports on this sound as if he used the term in reference to someone or a group of people as an epithet. But when reading what he actually said, it seems like he is pointing out that someone else used the term, Colonel Sanders, and did not face negative consequences to his business. The problem is that he used the full term when reporting what Sanders actually said. However, he doesn't actually use the term himself in reference to anyone.

 

Isn't that a substantive difference? At the very least, this difference should be reported.

No differnce to me. You will never hear me utter that word under any circumstance.

Dr. Bendapudi said UofL is "evaluating" the details of the naming rights to the stadium.

Same here.

Good. My buddy used to work at Ruth’s Chris and said he was the worst human being on the planet.

I will never say it either. But I do think there is a difference if someone uses it as an epithet or is reporting that someone else said it. There is a difference between someone saying, "Oldgrappler is a dinosaur" and someone saying, "I heard C_W_B and T b (and gold) call og a dinosaur." The first is a statement of the speaker's opinion. The second is a second-hand report of another person using the term.

 

Huge difference between the two. This seems to be why the Chair of the U of L Board of Trustees said he is confident that this did not reflect Schnatter's personal view or values.

 

I do not know what Schnatter actually said but the story I read indicated he was reporting what someone else said and commenting that that person did not face consequences for using the term as an epithet. If so, it does not seem to be fair or honest to report it as if he used the term on his own as an epithet. While you can be angry that he used the term at all, there is a meaningful difference between the two uses.

 

BTW, I had no idea who Schnatter was before this came out or that he owned Papa John's Pizza or that he had anything to do with U of L athletics.

I'm sure the governor will have a list of names in front of him sooner rather than later, but I doubt he's in a huge rush.

My read of the article was the same as yours. If we are correct, than my immediate thoughts are ..."we have to be able to talk about racism and all its' ugliness, if we are ever going to eliminate it."

We can talk about racism without uttering racially charged and offensive language.
