Competitive hot dog eaters from around the world are competing in New York City on Independence Day to see how many franks they can eat in 10 minutes. Perennial champion Joey “Jaws” Chestnut isn't participating in Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest this year due to a sponsorship tiff. That means any mega-eater could clinch the men's “mustard belt” on Thursday. Bragging rights could also go to female competitors. Chestnut holds the record for most hot dogs eaten in competition. Contestants say anyone who can down 50 or more on Thursday has a shot at the top prize.

Christian Ramírez and Diego Rossi each scored a goal to help the Columbus Crew beat Nashville SC 2-0.

Rossi slipped behind the defense and ran onto a through ball played by Yaw Yeboah before rolling a shot into the net to make it 2-0 in the 65th. Columbus (10-3-6) has won three consecutive games by a combined score of 11-1. The Crew had 58% possession and outshot Nashville 20-8, including 7-3 on target. Patrick Schulte had three saves for Columbus. Joe Willis stopped five shots for Nashville. Kickoff was delayed more than 2 hours due to inclement weather in the area.
