    Lessee... we've given billions to Egypt, Ethiopia, Liberia, Rwanda, Somalia... speaking of Somalia, we've spilled the blood of our soldiers trying to help those people there...

    We've. How much of that was your money and your blood Sarge?

    Now this is an innovation I could use, no more remote controls.

    Well just wait a bit longer when export volumes go up.

    I wish the cops today would dress like this. Then when they're sitting around doing nothing I could get a good picture of them.

    Match fixing in sumo goes back to pretty much when it started. The word yaocho was born from sumo. As in, they had to come up with a word to describe the intentional losing of bouts for other benefits.

    Now to address the question at hand, I don't see yaocho disappearing from sumo but I reckon there will be less of it, especially in the next year or two until everyone has forgotten about it again, and definitely in bouts involving foreigners who have few qualms with exposing the establishment then taking a plane back home.

    I also think these latest claims will hurt sumo, with some people not bothering anymore. And by some people, I mean me.

    It's just a matter of when my tax yen goes towards the search team. My only hope is that the accompanying news coverage is short and swift, and I don't have to hear repeatedly about his self-made disaster.

    Nessie - you need a holiday! How can anyone NOT enjoy such an event at such a great price!!

    Easy tiger. It might have just been an attempt at humour by playing with the words.

    I think the woman down in front has the right idea.

    1000 yen nomihoudai in the hills? Great fun, unless you are over them already.

    Hey that's even better than cherry blossom viewing.

    The event, which ends Sunday afternoon, costs 1,000 yen for as much wine as you like.

    I should hurry up and get going.

    Kano says manners make a woman a more attractive person than physical features.

    So what's with the massive boob-job then? No manners at all? Not much else to offer? Think you would have gotten you where you are today if you didn't modify your appearance? Her comment might be valid in some cases but it's empty and ironic coming from her. She knows where she can thank for the proceeds from this book and her other successes in life.

    In short, the sumo world is a closed cabalistic entity, hidebound with arcane traditions, and highly suspicious of change, of foreigners or any kind of transparency. That's the reason why this otherwise exciting sport continues its slow and steady decline.

    Absolute nonsense. Any noteable decline is because of the Mongolians complete domination in most recent years and other foreigners in years before that, in Japan's national sport. The crowds are still sell-outs particularly on the weekends and national holidays however, and sumo still leads the sports news when a tournament is on. If the writer is referring to younger people not picking it up, which I don't think he is but rather endulging in a thinly veiled rant about discrimination, well neither are they picking up the shamisen, the koto and they are leaving many other traditional interests behind as they pursue socccer and baseball and other things from abroad, so at least be happy with this last part and perhaps question why you stay in Japan while you're at it.

    TPOJ, what now you're concerned for the Russians plight? "I don't really have much sympathy for him...smoking weed in JAPAN? Not the sharpest tool in the shed" is what you said a few weeks back. So which carries more weight in your book? Smoking an illegal drug in Japan or your foreigner sensitivities?

    You know what, I don't think you can read. Where did I say discrimination doesn't exist? Put on your glasses and look at my first post in this thread again.

    So what are you gonna do about it? If you don't like the hand you or Roho or Wakanoho have been dealt, pack it up and go home.

    Sumo shows its hypocrisy

    Sorry where is the hypocrisy? Where is the link between throwing matches, a hazing-related death, dope smoking wrestlers, the long term effects of sumo on a wrestler's body? Does the writer want sumo to continue or not? In the end this article is little more than a rant about discrimination in Japan. But I don't blame him. The unpleasant aspects of Japan never appear in the travel brochures. I'd say Welcome to Japan, but that chip on his shoulder takes a couple of years to develop.

    If sumo is to have a real future, it must break with the past and shed the arcane culture that once nourished it but now stifles it.

    According to you pal. Listen to your tough talk. People get a lot tougher in the soft society that is Japan.

    An international ruling body should be established, with standards, rules and procedures that meet global standards

    Global standards? Do you mean Western standards (where the sport is non-existent), rules and procedures?

    No, I know what I wrote when I wrote it. Yes, many wrestlers have used steroids, but three dope smoking Russians were the ones to be given the boot. Japan is racist and we're talking about its traditional sport. Japan is for the Japanese, and foreigners who choose to come here are under no obligation to meddle with it, just pack up and go home and fix the problems back there if you really want to impose yourself.

    Aside to chibaman: There are very few people in the baseball world who are truly worthy of respect.

    What nonsense. You never hear real champions spout such rubbish. Only the pretenders and the arm-chair experts.
