Joey Chestnut Barred From Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Due to Vegan Sponsor Beef

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.
