This explains the story Having said that the guy resigned from PJ's, so you cant really hold the company to account forever.

Not BLM specifically, more the sheer hypocrisy of "minority background management quotas", "take the knee" and "kick racism out of football" versus anybody's money is good enough even companies who have been subject to racism storms!!

IAmNick Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wait so two years ago the founder of Papa Johns used a racial slur, resigned because of it, and now that means the EFL shouldn't accept their money? What a bizarre take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
