The fallout continues following the resignation of Papa John’s embattled chairman John Schnatter, who confirmed publicly that he used a racial slur during a May conference call.
The call was with Papa John’s marketing agency, Laundry Service, and, according to a
Forbes article, “it was designed as a role-playing exercise for Schnatter in an effort to prevent future public-relations snafus.
The article said he was asked by the agency’s staffer “how he would distance himself from racist groups online. ‘Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s,’ Schnatter said, before complaining that Sanders never faced public backlash” after his comments criticizing protests from NFL players during the National Anthem.
Given the ongoing nature of Schnatter’s behavior, was it something he exhibited in the boardroom? And if so, what is the board’s role in the scandal?
