John Schnatter Bio, family, career, wife, net worth, measurements

John H. Schnatter, commercially popular as Papa John, is an American entrepreneur. Additionally, in 1984, he founded Papa John’s Pizza. After selling his car and using the proceeds to buy used restaurant equipment, Schnatter started the business out of the back of his father’s tavern. While at Papa John’s, Schnatter shared some controversial opinions. On January 1, 2018, he resigned as CEO after controversy over his remarks that the National Football League (NFL), which had a business affiliation with Papa John’s, had not done enough to stop protests by the national anthem of NFL players, and that the protests had hurt his business.

Additionally, Schnatter remained chairman of the board after stepping down as CEO until July 2018, when during an internal sensitivity training conference call he used a racial slur for black people, noting as an extreme example of historical social practices that Colonel Sanders had used the insult without backlash. When the remark became public, Schnatter resigned but has since argued that the board conspired against him and unfairly forced him out of office.
