In the Marie Claire Australia about female competitive eaters, the claim is made that the broadcast on ESPN2 received a higher rating than the major league baseball game on July 4. That is an interesting assertion since no baseball game was televised on ESPN / ESPN2 on that day. Sports Business Daily has a list of ratings from early July; the July 7 baseball game had a higher rating than the Nathan's programming (1.3 vs. 0.7).

    Um, the sentence doesn’t say that the baseball game was broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2. It could have been referring to a game broadcast on another network.

    On July 4 1972 Tom Seaver had a no hitter with the Mets going into the 9th inning until Leron Lee of the Padres broke it . The ratings went through the roof that year
