I watched bobby tangle with akebono last night. And it occured to me... akebono's an embarassment. In fact, on a rival network, a comedienne used his name alone as a joke.
comedienne:"akebono"
audience: (hearty laugh)
Akebono, Konishiki, Musashimaru... all three of them suffer from two big problems. They can't find decent post-sumo careers, and they can't seem to shake their working weight. Almost all of the top level japanese sumo wrestlers lose a ton of weight once they stop fighting, and continue their careers as stocky-firmly-built dudes. These dudes are just big old sacks of lard though, sweatin' and dyin' at a rate no one should.
I say it a lot in different places, but weight control is just a given here. Enjoying food is not a vice in the least, but being fat is. Precisely the reverse of christian-american thought.
