Good point Paz. I meant the getting arrested part. Pretty ****ty of Chestnut to call him out too when Kobayashi recalcitrance would benefit the entire circuit. Maybe he is the Curt Flood of competitive eating.

But I'm sure they both appeal to sophmoric men whose maturity peaked and sadly stopped at 15.

It's silicone fueled bimbo's in bikinis playing volleyball! That's a great sport!

An interesting piece on competitive eating and Kobayashi's refusal to sign the contract.

The most interesting nugget in the story?

"But competitive eating has become more than professional. According to Kobayashi, it's now government-sanctioned. "I recently received a O-1 visa to work in the United States, a visa granted to athletes judged to have 'extraordinary ability,' " he reports. "In my case that ability was competitive eating." Such visas are officially reserved for people with "extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics."
