Daniel Bryan has been ousted from the WWE!

Because removing a vegan from any sports competition is a major blow to vegetarians everywhere, PETA has personally written a letter to Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, asking for Bryan to be reinstated.

“Lots of athletes, including baseball slugger Prince Fielder, the NBA’s Raja Bell, MMA fighters K.J. Noons and Mac Danzig, and Olympic Legend Carl Lewis, show that vegetarians often leave meat-eaters in the dust, gnawing on their greasy chicken wings as they wonder what hit them. But Bryan represents the quintessential vegan badass.”

“I spent the summer living at the Taj Majal Hotel and Casino, and in the spring of 1994 I decided to set up shop there. I bought a nice house in the Atlantic City area and kept it as my personal haven – a place that could be a permanent home for myself all my many books, and transformational tapes. A sanctuary where I could relax and enjoy my life and pursue my passion for healthy vegetarian cooking.”

After the U.S. soccer team tied with Slovenia on Friday, representative Dennis Kucinich received some complaints on his Facebook that had nothing to do with politics.

Fans questioned the offsides penalty call player Maurice Edu received after what would have been a winning goal for the U.S.

“If Edu was offsides then I’ll eat a hamburger,” Kucinich told his followers.

Relax, guys. Of course he was only joking.

Still, thank goodness, the ref, Koman Coulibaly, was dropped from the next round of World Cup Games. Wouldn’t want to hear any threats of Kucinich consuming a cheese log and milkshake over the next penalty call. Maybe he should feed the U.S. team vegan chocolate chip brownies as a consolation prize.

KJ Noons PETA

KJ Noons thinks animal abusers should throw a punch at him instead and see how they fare.

The Strikeforce MMA fighter and pro boxer has posed in this PETA ad against animal cruelty that reads, “Pick on someone your own size. Report animal abuse immediately.”

In an interview with the group, Noons said, “If you see an abused animal, think of it if it was your dog or your cat and how that would make you feel, you know, so you should feel that about every type of animal that’s abused.”

Race car driver Leilani Munter comes in as the #1 eco athlete on Planet Green’s Planet 100.

“At number one, biology graduate turned race car driver, Leilani Munter is on a mission to ensure every race car uses clean, renewable biofuels and every race track has a recycling program. Self described “Vegetarian Hippie Chick,” Munter uses her celebrity status to inspire race car fans to make a difference. She is focused on getting the 135 million Indy and Nascar fans to recycle and use efficient bulbs—small actions that add up to big changes.”

Leilani’s a fantastic example of a green athlete, given her diet and environmental activism, but how did Hannah Teter not make the cut?

Best Eco-Friendly Tip To Readers:
I want everyone to realize how much a choice at the dinner table can affect our environment. The single most important thing that you can do to help our planet is to cut back or, even better, give up eating meat. I know that not everyone reading this is going to become vegetarian, but I hope they will at least try to reduce their meat consumption, even if it’s just one day a week like meatless Monday!

Poker player Annie LePage makes raw mango and coconut sushi in this video where rice is substituted for a nut pate in the recipe.

LePage has her daughter to thank for going vegan, as she says in a new PETA PSA for vegetarianism.

Given the fact she has children, LePage is extremely upset that companies like McDonald’s market their less than healthy and cruelly sourced products to kids.

“If kids really saw what goes on behind the scene, instead of that silly clown, I don’t think they would want to eat it so much,” she says in the PSA, which can be seen below. Grab a pen and jot down the ingredients to the veggie sushi, which are displayed across the screen as LePage prepares it.

PETA has announced the top vegetarian friendly major and minor league baseball stadiums for 2010.

The veggie hot dog stands at Citizen’s Bank Park were so popular, the stadium added extra lines for them, in addition to a black bean burger. Is this why the Philadelphia Phillies’ home won first place in the major leagues?

“It’s hard to say whether the Phils’ biggest off-season acquisition was ace Roy Halladay or the new faux chicken sandwich and vegan rice crispie treats offered at concession stands. Added to other meat-free fare, including veggie burgers, Southwestern black-bean burgers, veggie dogs, faux steak sandwiches, veggie chicken steaks, mock crab cakes, hummus and pita chips, and fresh fruit, Citizens Bank Park is the first undisputed dynasty in the history of PETA’s prestigious rankings.”

Makes you wanna eat there even if you hate baseball.
