Louisville removing Papa Johns. Clemson?

There was a short lived pizza around here that was sold in gas stations and it was totally amazing. It was called Hot Stuff pizza. Wish those were still around.
Edit: just looked it up there is still one in Columbia. Might have to make a trip next time im in town.
There are plenty of places people can buy wedding cakes. Freedom is a coin with two sides.
It amazes me how it's only an offensive word when the white guy speaks it but when the black guys say it it's just another word or a part of their vocabulary. The word will never die as long as the so called offended ones keep it alive in speech and "music". It's not a word for just some to use it's a word ALL should abandon. If it's so ^#%@ offensive then drop it from your language.
If we could reach a point where that happened, we would be well on the way to a better society.
It's ok for chain store pizza. It's probably better than Dominos and Little Caesar's but it's way overpriced considering there are much better options out there.
What city do you live in? Curious. I live in Simpsonville (Five Forks area). For the price, it’s great pizza. I have experienced just about every source of local and franchised pizza around. There are others that may be better, but not by much. When weighing taste vs price, I think it’s good.
Where papa john messed up is giving in. If he woulda just said played the tape and explained himself as being human and therefore not perfect it would have passed in a day or two. By giving in and resigning he made it into a story that grew into a witch hunt. The reality is probably 90% or more of the population has used the word before in some way, shape or form.
Ask Paula Deen. Use that word publicly now, or have it become public that you used it, and you're radioactive, probably for life.
Who cares about him. Seems like a real jackass. Never ate their pizza and never would. Not because of what he said. Just think he’s a prick
Put a plaque next to his statue explaining the rest of the story.
It's not exactly like John Schatnner is a sympathetic figure. He got sued for underpaying his delivery drivers (and had to settle), then complained about giving his employees health insurance because it would drive up the cost of his pizza by 14 cents, then blamed the NFL for slow sales back in November

To give you some hope, the term "sandlapper" was once considered a very derogatory term for poor coastal South Carolina residents. The term was eventually embraced by those whom it was used against....and it eventually became the nickname for all residents of our state.
Like the term "gay," which does NOT mean homosexual, but was used in a derogatory manner in referring to homosexuals. Homosexuals have co-opted the word and turned it into something positive for them.
Guts as in demonstrating publicly and lobbying the legislature to change the law (if necessary) so that the Clemson BOT can take steps to change the name of the building back to what it was before Tillman's name was so carelessly placed on the school's most iconic and recognizable structure.
Ever been to Berlin? There are no statues of Nazis standing. I took a bike tour several years ago and the guide took us to a non-descript apartment building in old East Berlin built in a utilitarian, Soviet style (read ugly) architecture. In the parking lot there was a grassy patch with overgrown bushes. The guide claimed this was the bunker where Hitler committed suicide. There was no marker or anything to denote this, so I’m still not totally sure I believe our guide.
My point is this - the absence of Nazi recognition via statue or building names does not erase history. I don’t believe anyone is saying it didn’t happen, but the Germans have chosen not to honor people who obviously don’t deserve it. Seems like a reasonable standard.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who deny the Holocaust happened.
Thanks for your insightful thought provoking comments. You added so much to the conversation.
If the Papa John's name is inappropriate for Louisville's football stadium, is Schnatter's money tainted, too? If the university believe's Schnatter is a racist, should it accept his money? If it renamed the stadium and returned the money, that would be a statement.
"Oh, I got to give back the money too..."
Sorry that money has been spent... No refunds....

You're supposed to take it out of the box to eat it!
How long will it be until we look at the background of KFC's Colonel Sanders????

The family of KFC’s Colonel Harland Sanders has come to his defense after Papa John’s founder John Schnatter suggested the colonel had used the N-word but hadn’t faced criticism for doing so.
Colonel Sanders’ grandson Trigg Adams told the Louisville Courier Journal on Wednesday that it is “an absolute lie” that Sanders used the racial slur or any other racially offensive words.

Honestly I don't know how the Clemson college sports kids can look themselves in the mirror while the very same College Board, who refuses to denounce his name, is looking down from their plantation porch into the field for their own amusement. Some of these kids are some real sell out, huh? Goes to show morals and dignity is looked the other way when winning and money is involved at any age.
Louisville being so upright and such a champion for minority rights should gladly give back to Schnatter all the money he gave them. Bet it doesn't happen.
The only chain pizza I've eaten recently that was any good was Marco's but I'm a fan of NY style pizza thanks to Danny's Pizza in Murrells Inlet which just opened.
