Say it ain't so, Joey!

"16-Time Champion Joey Chestnut Banned from Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest Over Deal with Rival Vegan Hot Dog Brand".

Joey Chestnut, the reigning champion of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, has been banned from this year’s July 4 showdown.
The decision, confirmed by Major League Eating (MLE), comes after Chestnut opted to represent a rival hot dog brand that focuses on vegan products.

This is the reason I'm maintaining my amateur status; when it comes to MLE, it's dog eat dog.

  1. What was that guy thinking? Hot dogs are MEAT. Vegetables are for food to eat.

  3. I don't have a dog in this fight, even though I am partial to Nathan's hot dogs.

  4. What kind of weenie is this guy, to endorse a veggie brand of hot dog?

  5. Yeah, he should have mustard up enough smarts to skip the fake dogs, and relish the chance to enter the Nathan's eating contest!

  6. Let's be frank: the guy simply doesn't know his onions when it comes to quality hot dogs.

  7. It's unlikely that Chestnut was going to participate due to association with the vegans. Nathan's is probably just going for publicity. Imagine the disappointment of other competitors who were relishing competing against the legendary Joey Chestnut.
