Kobayashi blogs on contract dispute
Takeru Kobayashi recently posted a blog entry about declining to extend his IFOCE contract which has the English title “My freedom”. (automatically translated)
As long as the body, I thought I want to continue playing, in order to obtain a license in this league, you have to sign the contract situation is more severe than ever have.
You can not eat hot dogs in front of the media, they appeared on television without permission, you can not eat that early performances.
Kobayashi mentions visa issues play a role in his rejection of the contract.
(The blog is on Japanese time so the date is July 3)

I understand how Koby feels, I also just want to compete. I have never done anything to discredit anyone in the sport from the top on down(well except for a little thing in Sunrise). I try to bring awareness by doing. So now I sit here dammed if I do and bummed if I don’t. We need a minor league where eaters can hone skills and improve numbers to make the major league more exciting. let eaters eat without restriction or persicution. If its the dollar that is the issue than bill for non sanctioned contests. lets make the sport more credible and make it for the better.
