Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest sure don't support their superstars.

They banned Kobayashi in the 2010 because he didn't want to sign a contract that would bar him from participating in non Major League Eating events.

Now they've banned Joey Chestnut because he took a sponsorship with Impossible Foods.

Nathan's more than likely has nothing to do with Imp[possible Foods and gets nothing.

It's all about the bucks.

I think they viewed Impossible Foods as a competitor.

Maybe he'd say "I need to save room for tomorrow's contest".

Joey won his own contest. I don’t know if he competed it with someone else or if he just ate it at the same time as the contest and self-reported/recorded results.

Do you win your own free throw contests?

I come in last every time. Technically first place, too, but that is less of an accomplishment feeling than being last is a disappointment.

Do you still get pizza and ice cream for coming in last?
