    I admit sport in general tends to baffle me, but the appeal of watching people eat hot dog after hot dog really eludes me.

      Eating contests fit alongside beauty pageants as some weird archaic thing that we could just not do anymore and nothing of value would be lost.

        Nah I’d elevate them well above beauty pageants as those lead to a lot of handsy judges and body image issues.
