Just realized I used ESPN's headline. My bad. Not original, but please don't grill me about it.

Guess they'll be a new weiner this year.
Look at who runs Nathans. They need to control wvery aspect of … everything.
Joey Chestnut has been cancelled. He is too woke for Nathan's.
Akin to Nike banning Sydney McLaughlin from Pre. Utter bs.
Is the weiner eating contest held in San Francisco?

The friend we all have that eats far more than his share of a pizza?
Boycott, Divest, Sanction!
Eat Joey
..eat
But that impossible food is the craps
Is all you can eat the route Impossible wants to go? I guess with obesity in this country Joey Cheestnut is a poster child for health to many.
Nut on chest
Joey Chestnut? Joey Deeznuts
Could be a female champion this year.
This would be the equivalent of Nike not allowing any non-Nike athletes to compete in the Prefontaine classic. Ridiculous.
This honestly makes Nathan's look like sore losers. Time for Chestnut to complete the villain arc.
I got no (hot) dog in this fight wrote:
I would encourage him to take up running.
He does. In an interview years ago he stated he runs and does yoga as training. He finished Surf City Marathon a few years ago in 5:02

It would be about time!
This is weird to me because I don't really see Nathan's and Impossible as true competitors. One is for meat eaters and the other is focused on vegetarians.
Nathan's did the exact same thing to Kobayashi, who made the hot dog eating contest what it is. He wouldn't sign an exclusive sponsorship deal with them, so they banned him. The only thing that saved the glutton competition from irrelevance was Joey Chestnut. Now they're banning him, too. Like Kobayashi, they could have just offered him more money! Morons.
The impact on market share is probably small but it's still money.
