Sumo wrestling is fantastic. I invite anyone at any bar to watch those matches (don’t even need audio), and get everyone to wager on the outcomes. It’s a real hoot, and don’t knock it unless you’ve done it.

After American athletes go to the NFL, NBA and MLB, soccer gets our third and fourth best athletes and we compete fairly well considering that.

I wouldn’t be to proud if I were Euro or SAmerican and the US is closing the gap, slowly and methodically.

Did they stop fixing matches? I heard that some statistician looked at the records and figured out that there was ‘nudge-nudge wink say no more’ going on between the Sumo dudes when they matched off against each other more than once in certain situations. I do think it is one heck of a spectacle.
