Papa John’s pizza founder, John Schnatter, is apologizing for his use of a racial slur. Schnatter says while his comments were taken out of context, he understands his words hurt people. He stepped down as chairman of Papa John’s board this week after Forbes magazine reported he used the slur during a media training exercise. Schnatter tells our Louisville affiliate WLKY, the company conducting the exercise tried to blackmail Papa John’s for $6 million.
