Hot Dog Eating Champ Joey Chestnut Injured with Ruptured Tendon puts Protestor in Chokehold - Video

Joey Chestnut manhandles protester before record 15th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest win:

Chestnut’s dominant performance came despite a brief interruption by an animal-rights protester who rushed him at one point as he was gobbling down dogs. The bizarre disturbance only lasted a few seconds before the eating champ grabbed and body-slammed the man out of the way.

The “GOAT” had shocked the competitive-eating world Friday when he showed up to his official weigh-in on crutches. A tendon injury required him to compete Monday in a medical boot.

what the heck does that protester's sign say?

The protestor appears to be from the the animal rights movement, and was protesting pork producer Smithfield Foods. Chestnut was also competing with a cast on his leg thanks to a ruptured tendon, but had no issues with taking home is 15th mustard belt in the last 16 years.

Security took away the protestor pretty quickly, and the champion didn’t seem phased by the incident.
