Papa John is a Kentucky Fan Now
By Tully Corcoran
You ever had a year so bad you became a fan of your team’s biggest rival?
That’s how bad things appear to have gotten for “Papa” John Schnatter, the Papa John’s founder who until last summer was such a big Louisville guy that he was on the school’s board of trustees.
Then on a conference call with a marketing agency, he uttered the One Word a White Person Must Never Utter and now look at him.

If this is an attempt to spite Louisville, it’s probably not going to work.
