Papa John's controversial CEO steps down after facing backlash for his criticism of NFL anthem protests

Schnatter owns roughly 25% of Papa John's and will stay on as chairman after stepping down as CEO in January. A press release from the company said he would "pursue his personal passion for entrepreneurship, leadership development, and education."

This is not the first time Schnatter has stepped down as CEO — he did so in 2005, after a period of declining sales at the company, then returned three years later.

Rubbish. He stepped down not because of national anthem fallout but because in the last 4 fiscal quarters the stock went from $87/share to $59/share while since Nov Dominos has gained 20 points and earnings kick ass.

Yup. Scapegoating.

Could it have anything to do with their spokesman being a sex offender?

I usually go with;

Sexual Assaulting, TD Record Breaking Celebrating Rehearsing, HGH Taking, Fraud.

But that is just me.

Could it have to do with the fact the pizza just isn't very good?

Boy a could go for a pie from Caserta Pizzeria on Federal Hill right now.
