OT: The GOAT is Banned
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
Nope, he signed with Impossible Foods - his banning is fully justified.
I would never eat vegan hot dogs but has anyone had a Nathan's lately? They are garbage anymore. $5.99 for a plain hot dog... yes a plain hot dog at their original spot in Coney Island. Was there Memorial Day Saturday. I passed as I had one April. Never again.
Sad day for America. The greatest American athlete is now a traitor. How could he sell his soul for chemical based foods.
Well at least it will be a real competition this year.

Good day for Joey's bathroom plumbing!!!
It'
This is like finding out my favorite rock star sold out to corporate America back in the day. Since they all do it now, Joey no different.
True. Also, it's not like he actually eats them. He performs the "reversal of fortune" after the event is over.

This is like the Grinch stealing Christmas. Why on Earth would he do the Impossible Brands endorsement? I have tried the burgers, not horrible, but not great. I'd be interested to see how long people last during a competition trying to scarf down Impossible Brands stuff.
That's funny and true! Now, many of the artists have sold their catalogs for $$$$$ to publishing companies. As a result, we have Chris Young's "Young Love and Saturday Nights" written to David Bowie's "Rebel, Rebel." Bowie didn't even listen to country music!
I'm guessing he is ready to call it a career soon. Get all the endorsement he can and pass the torch to the next guy. Puking so much isn't good for your system. Acid from you stomach is not designed to come out your throat.
He is loved in Philadelphia as he won the Wing Bowl 3 straight years.
Has anyone been to the Nathan's Contest. I've never been but the space is tiny. I doubt they are able to fit a more then 200/300 people there
We went one year back in the late 80's. As you said it's a small area and we never got close to the stage. Never went back for the contest.
Outside of the contest been there a few times but haven't been in over 20 years.
Let's be frank - if he participated it wouldn't pass the muster(d) test. I'm sure the field will relish not having to ketchup to him all day.
I meant hot dogs generally. I bet the crap SHI dogs cost more than the higher quality and tastier Nathan’s fast food variety.
I assume the big issue is that he would not want to wear the Nathan's shirt during the competition...and would have to wear an Impossible logo.
Joey Chestnut vs. Takeru Kobayashi Hot Dog Eating Contest announced for Netflix on September 2nd.
I was just reading that Kobayashi is retired and has health issues. He said he cant get full when eating and sometimes goes days without eating. I guess $$$$ talks
Of course he has issues. First you puke intentionally a lot and your stomach acid is destroying your esophagus which has multiple issues of great concern. Plus you are expanding a stomach that isn't prepared for that.
Things people will do for money.

Contest on for Joey
Just not the usual one
Chestnut vs. Kobayash on Netflix
Guess Takeru's retirement put on hold and bet big money is involved
edit: seems strange that right after the ban, this match was set.
Could be Joey had other plans anyway

Just think of how valuable this was to Impossible Brands. He could do TV ads for them now off this added fame. It was reported EVERYWHERE! Impossible will get more PR out of this AND during the Nathans contest.. than Nathans.
Hope he got paid for what this is worth. If so, he'll never have to "compete" again.
