I was on the #freejoeychestnut bandwagon until I saw he has a Netflix event on labor day. I couldn't help thinking that Joey took the deal from impossible to get kicked out of the hot dog eating contest on purpose. This whole thing just feels exactly like a publicity stunt.
Yeah, but impossible dogs?! I'm staying out of this one. Loser takes on both sides.
That said, I loved watching that man suck down gaggles of weiners. Just a pure athlete. Poetry in motion.
As a vehement Vienna beef hotdog guy, I eagerly anticipate the day when animal meat is illegal and only lab grown or plant based meat substitutes are available instead.
Joey is a straight up badass for taking that sponsorship and Nathan's are big pansies who know their industry is almost on the ropes.
What is the Smithfield Death Star? It may be a perfectly valid thing to protest, but the second you call it a death star, I'm going to assume you're a crazy person.
He was defending the scantily of their competition! [redacted] should be happy that Joey defended the tournament!! Also, if someone comes up and surprise attacks you (or seemingly surprise attacks you) you can put them in a choke hold and get them restrained…. Like if this happened on the street it would be self defense
Smithfields is a factory pig farm that is accused of animal cruelty and treating their workers like garbage. Here is what the dude holding the sign had to say: [https://www.directactioneverywhere.com/dxe-in-the-news/taking-bold-action-to-expose-smithfields-deathstar](https://www.directactioneverywhere.com/dxe-in-the-news/taking-bold-action-to-expose-smithfields-deathstar)
My 70+ year old mother is a huge fan of this guy. I have no idea why she got interested in competitive eating but she did and she may be one of his biggest fans.
Is Joey only famous for eating hot dogs? I hear his name a lot from Americans and I don't understand why someone would be so popular from eating hotdogs? What am I missing? Lol
almost did the action movie necksnap on this guy
Thats definitely what it looks like lmfao. Also, he did that for some conspiracy theory shit? Lmfao this video is hilarious.
To be fair, Smithfield is a company owned by China and is genuinely a terrible company, but you can't hardly boycott them if you want to eat food.
Between that and the US owned Tyson chicken, is any meat truly safe?
If you want to boycott shitty companies you have to grow your own food, every single company is garbage.
Do they have some sort of power over the food industry?
Yes
Just fyi, the whole situation is seeming like publicity because Joey Chesnut is doing a 1v1 battle with Tobayashi on Netflix in September.

He also just got banned from the Nathan's hotdogs eating contest.
Once again I’m not sure if that’s anything more than publicity for the Netflix thing
Who the hell is Tobayashi?
Kobayashi, a skinny Japanese dude who was the OG hotdog eating champ. Chestnut is a recent arrival by comparison
Well yeah I know who Kobayashi is, I’m not an idiot. Who’s Tobayashi?
Joseph Christian Chestnut deserves the absolute best, and Nathan’s pussy-ass Hotdogs isn’t it

The Jackie Robinson of competitive eating
Nah. Fuck Chestnut. Kobayashi was cheated.
The whole thing is basically WWE for hotdog eating, but they did Kobayashi dirty in a pretty racist manner

Competitive eating is morally disgusting
How come?
