Apparently people were not here for the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest. Protestors ran through the contest spraying fake blood on the contestants.
Dan Katz, who blogs for Barstool Sports was one of the sprayed contestants. He tweeted,
I also got attacked by PETA 2 minutes into the competition, knocked over all my plates and doused me in fake blood
Check out the video of the account below.
Here's the video of the PETA attack, probably would have hit 80 Hot Dogs without that lost time #JustSaying pic.twitter.com/iy27TW57VF
