When is this crap gonna be outlawed? I don't mean just taken off ESPN or whatever channel on TV--I mean BANNED. People are starving all over the world, and this crap goes on? I even heard a commercial referring to participants as "gastric athletes." Athletes! For ramming food down themselves, they are condered "athletes"?!? Oh,...my,...GOD!!!
Only in America, folks. . . . .

I don't see it stopping anytime soon, at least as long as people keep supporting it. Unfortunately, it fits right in with everything else in America being taken to extremes.
Athletes? Yikes - if they're athletes, then we truly have no standards anymore regarding what that word means. My guess is that they only use that word to make themselves feel better about what they're doing, and so ESPN or someone else can pass it off as some kind of sporting competition.

Someone will die because they're stomach tore and then the event planners will be sued by the family.....and then they'll stop.
It's disgusting and stupid.....in my opinion.
