Papa John's founder
John Schnatter wasn't just the CEO of the company, but also its face. He
was a staple of the commercials for the company that bears his name.
While it will continue to bear his name, the pizza chain won't be bearing him any further after Schnatter resigned yesterday. From The Daily Caller:
The founder of Papa Johns pizza announced he would be resigning in January, months after he publicly criticized the National Football League for the way it dealt with players protesting the national anthem.
Papa Johns announced Wednesday that founder and CEO John Schnatter would be resigning from his position as CEO and replaced by chief operating officer Steve Ritchie Jan. 1, the Associated Press reports.The announcement comes two months after Schnatter blasted the NFL and the league’s “poor leadership” after the company’s future sales predictions significantly sunk from 4 percent to 1.5 percent.
Schnatter's comments criticized the NFL for allowing players to kneel during the National Anthem.
