American hero Joey Chestnut celebrated the 4th of July by devouring 72 hot dogs in 10 minutes to capture his 10th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating championship, a disgusting feat that propelled his name up there with greats like Rafael Nadal and Yogi Berra:

A ridiculous graphic for sure, but nothing you should lose your mind over.
Enter: Peter King, who does not share that sentiment and spent part of his 4th venting over the contest:
On Independence Day, the most grotesque event our country “celebrates.” Feed these hot dogs to hungry people, not professional gluttons. https://t.co/c2k5lyN3FQ

Sadly Peter’s public distaste for the event didn’t end there because Mike Golic decided to engage him on this very important matter:
Come on Peter, so are you saying it's not possible to do both? and I love the contest

They agreed to disagree, sort of:
You are right we won't agree, good to know you are speaking for them and know their intentions, thats a bit high on your horse isn't it?

Not a fan of nationally televised gluttony as sport.
To each his own. https://t.co/qejBSGzKW1— Peter King (@peter_king) July 5, 2017
Fortunately this random Twitter argument ended cordially:
Have a good Fourth, Mike. Best to you and your family. https://t.co/gEogebMX35
