They Say Competitive Eating is a sport...

I think it has to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I’m all for eating contests, but the Hot Dog eating contest at Nathan’s is just completely sick.

One guy was literally SHAKING after eating 40 dogs, and he’s still kept going.

ESPN (of all stations) aired this as a Live event from Nathan’s Hot Dogs.   Competitive Eating, which is mindless eating, and Poker, which has no physicality to it,  are considered “Sports “ but Scrabble isn’t?  Scrabble falls into the poker category, because it’s a mind game, and much more cerebral than Poker is anyways.
