The basic argument is that professional eaters are athletes who know the risks and prepare for them. Amateur eating contests don’t inform the contestants well enough and so are liable if a person is injured.

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > And nobody cares until they are beating white boys. The abuses described in that article, if accurate, are horrific. They should not be happening to anyone of any race. The correct response is not to forgo prison but to make sure all prisoners are safe. Yes I totally acknowledge the hypocrisy of these priveleged assholes suddenly concerned about prison conditions, but I’m just not comfortable with the mistreatment of any prisoner for any reason. ---
