Kyushu 2014 - General Talk

Recommended Posts

The Big Sandy talk I heard from all the die hard fans who sit and watch sumo all day everyday (mostly retired people obviously) was that there was talk among wrestlers (especially ones that had taken the forearm) that Osuna could very well be hiding some piece of metal or the like in the wrapping he had on his forearm when he executed that "move". Regardless of the veracity of this claim, it seems the forearm move is no longer in Big Sandy's repetoire.

I've seen some BS on this forum before but that takes the biscuit. Gotta say bud I'm really surprised you would put that kind of nonsense out there. Even if you did hear it from the drunk gossipers, it's surprising you didn't have the common sense to dismiss it immediately. Is all the negativity your masu mate pours out finally getting to you?

1) People are entitled to their opinions. To blame me for another person's comment is like blaming Booty for the atrocities of ISIS.

2) One person's 'negativity' is another person's reality.

Interesting you should write of Daesh...

There was an incident just last tournament regarding a prominent foreign rikishi from Egypt.

首相官邸の周辺では、日本の外交の脆弱さを非難する活動家がデモを繰り返しているんですが、中には右翼系の連中で“大相撲からイスラム教を追い出せ”と叫んでいる者もいて、国技館の千秋楽では....“おい、イスラム国!”と心ないヤジが飛びました

"In the final day of the tournament at the Kokugikan, someone cruelly jeered at him, "Hey, Isuramu-koku (Islamic State)!"http://news.infoseek.co.jp/article/cyzo_20150202_622761

Disgusting stupidity, hope Boody didn't hear it at the time or doesn't read about it.

Hope this kind of racist slurs don't increase in the wake of the horrible fate of the two murdered Japanese hostages. :-(

I hope that no more innocent people are killed by these lunatics.

Just yesterday Oosunaarashi remarked on the Daesh (ISIS) situation on his Tweeter account: "I humbly offer my apologies. As a member of the Islam faith and as a member of the Japanese sumo community, having something like this happen really breaks my heart."
