As far as him being a douche. I searched him, and other then political opinions I don't see what you mean. Some of the articles about his opinions seem to have dramatic headlines but when I read them the quoted material wasn't. Maybe i didn't read enough.
He does look like a douche, and in your personal interaction he was a douche. So I don't doubt the he is.
his biggest douche move was trying to get out of paying health benefits for employees during the Affordable Care Act starting up, claiming it will cost him too much and make him have to raise pizza prices ... don't want to get too deep into that as it will turn this into a political thread ... but the links are out there if you want to look
but the owner of a billion dollar business crying poor if he has to pay health benefits to workers just screams douche

Yum Brands CEO Greg Creed said Thursday that he has seen no negative effects from the company being associated with the NFL or other sports leagues.
According to Kate Taylor of Business Insider, Creed said, "We're not seeing impact on any of that on our business," in specific reference to Pizza Hut, which is among the companies under the Yum Brands umbrella.
Creed's comments came after Papa John's founder John Schnatter said Wednesday that the NFL has hurt his business due to national anthem protests and other issues between the players and league leadership, per ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Creed noted that Pizza Hut's affiliation with the NFL, MLB and NCAA has been beneficial from a sales perspective.
uh oh ... looks like
if I had to choose between the 2, Pizza Hut wins my vote

He's part of the Donald Trump crowd and this undoubtedly is part of a coordinated attack on the black players trying to bring attention to police misbehavior.
This maneuver should backfire in John Schnatter's plastic surgery altered face.

Yes, yes, I remember. The 8% increase in pizza cost he claimed would ruin his business. A pizza which cost $10.00 is now $10.80 and that additional 80 cents would be enough to stop people from buying his cardboard pizza...
The only thing John Schnatter has accomplished is making the simple decision to purchase a pizza from one of his franchises a potentially political one.

Oh I saw that but several companies said/ did similar things so it didn't register. Clearly he was more out spoken. Plus my opinions on the matter are different.
“We believe in the right to protest inequality and support the players’ movement to create a new platform for change. We also believe, as Americans, we should honor our anthem. There is a way to do both.”
Papa John’s added that it is “open to ideas from all. Except neo-Nazis.” It previously has tried to distance itself from white supremacists who praised Schnatter’s comments, saying it does not want those groups to buy its pizza.
The company’s stock has fallen by nearly 13 percent since Schnatter’s comments.
I think the driving force behind this is more their continued stock drop than anything else

Just heard over the lunch hour on the radio, one of Papa John's biggest partner's/investors is none other than....................................................................................................................................................................................................................Jerry Jones.
The facts are that I’ve spent my life, the last 28 to 30 years of my life, being knee-deep and immersed in anything and everything I can do for the Cowboys and through that the NFL. On the other hand, I am a joint owner of the businesses of 120 Papa John’s stores here in Texas

so I suppose the speculation is Jones had plastic face make his anti-NFL statements because it would pain Goodell, and perhaps assist Jones in his current feud about Goodell's contract
