According to the video, after winning the Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 15th time, Joey Chestnut tackled a Smithfield Death Star protestor.
Joey Chestnut, the legendary hot dog eater, won yet another Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest, bringing his total to 15. Within 10 minutes, the 38-year-old ate 63 hot dogs and hoisted the mustard belt.
What Is “Expose Smithfield Death Star” About?
Joey was celebrating his record-breaking victory when a protestor attacked him. Before security could intervene, Chestnut tackled and manhandled him alone. The protestor is now known as the “Smithfield Death Star protestor.”
A person tried to ambush the 15-time contest winner as he stood in front of the crowd to celebrate. Instead, he was the one who handled the protestor alone, leaving him on the ground. He choked the protester, who appears to be uninjured at the moment.
Furthermore, the protestor was holding a sign that wrote, “Expose Smithfield’s Death Star.” We have no idea what that means or who he was implying it to.
For the time being, the identity of the Smithfield Death Star Protestor is unknown.
However, it has been reported that he was under the control of security. However, no information about his identity has been revealed. When the protestor tackled Joey, he was facing the opposite side of the camera. As a result, his face was not captured on camera.
Protestor Tackled By Joey Chestnut
While Joey Chestnut easily wins another Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island today, a protestor intervened.
Chestnut, on the other hand, tackled him and still won the event with 63 hot dogs consumed, 20 more than his closest competitor. Security quickly took away the protestor, and the champion appeared unperturbed by the incident.
It was expected that Chestnut would not break his previous record of 76 hot dogs this year due to a lack of training and competition, but the competition still demonstrates the massive gap between him and every other hot dog eater on the planet.
In the end, Chestnut is still the champion.
