Kobayashi Arrested

[iowajazz]

If you didn't think professional eating was a sport...Kobayashi has been having a contract dispute with his organization and now he's getting arrested at the "Super Bowl" of professional eating.

He's the reason that Nathans hot dog eating contest has become relevant. No one really paid attention to it until Kobayashi ate a **** ton of hot dogs.

y did he get arrested?

 

[ISUAlum2002]

This smacks of being a setup.

"He was under arrest Sunday afternoon, charged with resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration."

Annnd how does this make professional eating a sport?

How sad, one day the biggest eater, the next day a has been.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

He was probably just hungry and climbed up onto the stage to get a hot dog or 2. Or maybe 60.

Nathan's hot dogeatin contest...crowded, hot & full of uglies! Like McDonald's but outdoors and on ESPN

I was there...he wasn't on stage but they did show him on the jumbotron taunting Chestnut a few times to the delight of the crowd...

Contract disputes....arrests....sounds like the NBA and NFL to me.

It is kind of WWE-ish.

All you need is Jim Ross: "What...OH MY GOD! That's KOBAYASHI's music!"

All you need is Jim Ross: "What...OH MY GOD! That's KOBAYASHI's music!"

Also, the fact that each of these competitors feel the need to have nick names adds to the WWE similarities.

 

[GrindingAway]

Also, the fact that each of these competitors feel the need to have nick names adds to the WWE similarities.

Also the fact that he is wearing a Free Kobi t-shirt. Who plans ahead and wears a shirt like that knowing he is getting arrested?

Luckily he didn't compete. How would you like to be the cell mate of a guy that just downed 60 hot dogs?

Plus the belt, replete with pepto bismol ads on it...which chestnut promptly drank upon finishing

[CDN_Tailgater]

what was he arrested for?

 

[ISUAgronomist]

what was he arrested for?

He was in the audience during the competition. After it was finished he rushed the stage.

 

[TheCaptain]

"He was under arrest Sunday afternoon, charged with resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration."

He is in the middle of a contract dispute and his lone bargaining chip was todays event.He blew it by not competing today. He really blew it by rushing private property after the event.
WWE type set-up for something bigger?.....more than likely.
