The kid should sue his father’s estate, since his father is responsible.
Oh BS.
It’s like smokers or people who wouldn’t buy the coffee unless it was scalding hot. He made a choice and it turned out badly for him and that is okay.
This 18-year old needs to decide if he is as stupid as his dad.
The dude who choked on the taco was an idiot.
However, the Fresno Grizzlies are absolute morons for sponsoring and amateur eating contest. Did the promo team run this idea by their legal team?
The baseball team will write a check.
No. At 41 y/o, you know what you’re doing.
I understand he was probably the family breadwinner, but that was a risk he decided to take.
Is there a mother in the picture?
Why isn’t she the one looking for a settlement vs Junior?
At least he died doing what he loved.
There is probably a signed iron-clad waiver.
I bet he ate one of those Choko tacos.
Sad...but “ here son, hold my bier”....
Anytime one eats a food product which can break up into angular, sharp chunks, very fast, can expect some of the chunks to get lodged in larynx...
he choked. its not like his stomach ruptured.
people have been warned all their life about choking on food.
besides, you warn him, hes going to enter the contest anyway. what would make anyone think he’s going to pause and not enter the contest? If hes the type of person who would even consider entering an eating contest....thats’ the deciding factor for it right there.
oh wait, you could choke on the tacos.
oh my, i could choke on tacos when eating them? omg i’m not entering this dangerous and deadly contest.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Very sad. Amateurs need to learn from professional eating contestants, since amateurs are not familiar with the laws of nature. Pro cyclists sometimes use blood doping as a way to go faster which is an amateur way to go fast. Doubling one’s blood volume but not doubling volume of veins is harmful, dangerous and not so bright.
I looked it up. He died on Taco Tuesday.
Wait just one second! Are yu telling me you have to eat as many tacos as humanly possible in a time limit? Were there crayons and sock puppets to further explain this complicated rule? I think there should be IQ tests before any competition. “Sorry, but you are too damn stupid to know how to chew and swallow a taco!”
As we said in the old country, “Tough Tacos”.
Another Darwin Award winner/loser.
Another old world saying, “Stupid is, as stupid does”.
Sorry for the son’s loss of a father but a little common sense (”Dad, don’t do it”) would have prevented this tragedy.
Taco eating contest? That’s pretty damn stupid.
The guy made a poor choice, but so did the team. On what planet does an amateur taco eating contest sound like a smart idea? And was it approved by legal? They should have just held the professional taco eating contest they were going to have the following day.
Gene pool improved by his death.
ANYONE who competes in an eating or drinking contest is an imbecile and deserves whatever “prize” they win.
Here’s your prize
