Then, several security officers appeared and tried to usher him off. He grabbed a metal police barricade with both hands, holding on tightly as the officers pulled at him. Finally, they dragged him down the stairs, with Kobayashi resisting vehemently.


Yeah, I know but why were the security officers trying to usher him off.

Because he was not in the competition. It would be like someone from the crowd rushing the stage essentially.
This is my quote.

ya well I'm faster than a lot of the new runners going through my high school but if I just jumped onto the track and torched them in a race then that'd be pretty retarded and silly dontcha think?

its not the WWE, you dont just walk up and compete like some end to a bad movie.

the guy wins a competition and some retired fatass tries to upstage his victory? THATS being an asshole if I've ever heard of one.

If we can make something called eSports...please why are you surprised we managed to make competitive eating a sport?

still i think competitive eating is not something that should be advertised...atleast video games challenge you're mind

He's not retired... The only reason he didn't compete in the competition is because he wasn't willing to sign a contract that limited him to exclusively competing in MLE events. This contract didn't exist before of if it did, it certainly wasn't a pre-requisite to compete since he's been competing for years now. Despite the fact that he's lost the past few times, he's still the only serious competition Chestnut has...

Just to clarify, I'm not arguing that he didn't behave inappropriately. I'm arguing that the policy that was suddenly put in place which prohibited from competing is just incredibly stupid. This isn't the Superbowl. A hot dog eating competition should be open to anyone and everyone that proves that they are worthy of a place in it.

I just noticed that the MLG has a logo very similar to this one:

Kobayashi is a legend at that contest.must really suck.

still i find it incredibly funny that you have to sign a professional contract just to eat hot dogs.
You have the power to create your own destiny.

Eating contest. Eating league, professional eater.

Am i the only one to whom these concepts seems retarded?

How can you transform eating into a sport? How about pissing and defecating, are those two next on the list?
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.
