Teamwork In the Valley of the Sumo Giants?
Feb. 4th, 2011 11:33 amIt's sort of interesting to watch the news today about the scandal in sumo. Apparently 13 or 14 (depending on the report) sumo wrestlers have been involved in throwing bouts -- fixing the fights?
( funny parts... )
The funny part is that using your cellphone text messages to set this up... well, that's not very smart. But thinking about a different approach to winning -- why do it with muscle if a little talk will do the job? -- that's not so dumb. In fact, it sort of indicates that the young wrestlers really were thinking. And texting.
I suppose sending them congratulations on the teamwork would be impolite?
