Just about the same thing happened to the previous champion, Takeru Kobayashi. They should have an impossible-off.
Dude gets himself kicked out of the Coca Cola drinking contest because he does endorsements for Pepsi.
That headline is deeply appreciated.
Major League Eating, hailing him as “an American hero,”
No. Just no.
Who do you worship, if not a guy who mastered a method of lubing up hot dogs so they slide down the throat at a record pace?
Fair enough.
Honestly doesn’t get any more American than that 🫡🇺🇸
So it is basically deep throating, just with a different kind of saussage?
“hot dog exclusivity provisions”
Well that’s not a phrase I ever expected to encounter.
Check your contract, just one more time. ;)
Fuck. There is it’s.
Oh, right, like it’s in the Lemmy TOS.
checks
. . . goddammit.
I saw this as a ticker news update at the bar and was super confused.
If I had spent years earning my legal degree, and then found myself dealing with “hot dog exclusivity provisions” it would be time for me to take a painfully honest look at my career.
It seems like out of the many potential villainous legal careers, the one that includes this is…fine
What a headline!
Great, now my 4th of July is now ruined.
I wonder what Beard Meats Food will make of this.
For more color, check out Raw Dog by Jamie Loftus and her guest Behind the Bastards episode about Major League Eating.
Very few things bring me joy these days. Joey Chestnut devouring dozens of hot dogs and buns every 4th of July was one of those disgusting and joyous occasions I could count on every year. Seeing that man throw caution to the wind and inhale that much sodium, fat, lips and assholes, and enriched wheat flour was horrifying and spectacular. Now, I won’t even have that.
This has backfired spectacularly. Streisand effect, engaged!
Is that meme your own creation?
yes
Thank you for your service

Major League Eating said that it had gone “to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day,” but that they’d been unable to come to an agreement.
Lol this is hilarious because I still remember what Major League Eating did to Kobayashi in 2010, but with Joey they’re bending over backwards to accommodate him and still lose. Serves them right and hopefully they’ll lose a lot of money over their poor treatment of their talent.
