Posted in: Sumo to stage event in Paris as part of global push See in context

There is an international sumo federation that allows competitions for both men and women.

the sumo in Japan is operated by the Japan Sumo Association and is steeped in tradition.

Women aren’t even allowed to stand on the dohyo let alone compete.

if these overseas tours help promote the sport it’s fine but don’t expect the JSA to change its ways.

Why didn’t the governors in North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia do a better job of ‘planning” for the flooding and rain that hit their states this summer? Which resulted in incredible loss of life. Should they all be fired?

or do we give them a pass cos they are Republicans?

No governor in any state could have planned for this. It’s only the people on the right who politicize such a terrible human tragedy show some sympathy otherwise get lost.

She is so Japanese in everything she does…..NOT.

greatest of all time? Give me a break. Not even close. Serena win 23 grand slam titles, and that’s the second most. How many more grand slam titles do you think Naomi can win? She can barely make it through the Hopman Cup.
