Is it wrong to be happy, giddy, actually, at the prospect that Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, the six-time champion of the annual Nathan's Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, may not be able to compete this year because of an arthritic jaw.
How thrilled am I that an American may now stand a chance to win this year!
Joey Chestnut (an American), beat Kobayashi's record at a qualifying event earlier this month. It CAN happen!
Surprised that I'm "in the know" about this? This has bothered me for years (six, to be exact). Is that racist of me? Un-PC? TOUGH CRAP! He doesn't even frickin SPEAK ENGLISH! The Fourth of July is an AMERICAN holiday, the Nathans contest (in my opinion) should be open ONLY to Americans.
Mind you, Kobayashi is not out yet. He's hoping that with the help of a chiropractor, he'll be able to compete.
God forgive me if I inadvertently send malocchia vibes his way.
He's won six titles.
Enough.
Time to sit this one out.
GO JOEY!
