“We came in when [Schnatter] made the big mistake,” O’Neal tells CNBC Make It on Monday night at Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year award event in New York City.

“Never. There is no change,” O’Neal says. “Sometimes people don’t know when to keep their mouths shut,” he added in response to Schnatter’s series of accusations.

“I’m not going to go back and forth with this guy. It doesn’t matter what he has said about me. I don’t care. I’m on a mission to make [Papa John’s] the No. 1 brand.”

According to O’Neal, his fellow board members are also unfazed by Schnatter’s comments to the media.

“We don’t worry about him. He has bigger problems” he needs to handle, says O’Neal.

Shaq isn’t worried about Schnatter. 

I’d love to see Shaq go off on Papa John in person.  

That man would crap his pants.
