LOOK: Papa John trades in Louisville red for Kentucky blue; Wildcat fans aren’t happy

Published:
John “Papa John” Schnatter recently had a very public falling out with Louisville amid a scandal following him using a racial slur in a conference call.
Now, it appears he’s not only done with the Cardinals, but actively engaging with the enemy — AKA the Kentucky Wildcats.
As you can see in the photo below, Papa John was at Rupp Arena for the Kentucky-LSU game on Tuesday night. And, as you might imagine, Kentucky fans weren’t exactly enthusiastic about having Schnatter in Big Blue Nation.
Here are some of the tweets that were sent after Papa John was first spotted on the television broadcast:
Papa John couldn’t wait to all of a sudden be a die hard UK fan. Get him away from the bench. pic.twitter.com/3QeyCMJ5D3

Papa John appears to have dropped Louisville almost as fast as they dropped him ? pic.twitter.com/3YJAd2tADl

Ever since we noticed Papa John behind the bench LSU has made a run. GET. HIM. AWAY.

Has there been a more agressive heel turn than Papa John?

You thought Charlotte Flair’s heel turn was shocking…
