Worst ever?

I don't get why it is so important to some people at all if it is the worst ever problem or not?

Anyway a clear "no" for various reason, one of which being the fact that everyone knowing a little bit about sumo knew about yaocho existing. Now the mass media usually neglecting sumo more or less altogether have proof for its existence, so what? We will enjoy reading good or bad stories about sumo in places where we haven't read anything about it before, we will see some rikishi/oyakata getting dismissed, one basho cancelled, some pro forma action taken by the NSK and Peterao doubling his number of Forum posts. In 6 months everything will be forgotten and we will be back at enjoying sumo.

Going a bit off topic, would anyone vote for a poll that asks "What is the wurst ever sausage you ate?"

Just wundering..

The brat was the wurst...it was spoiled rotten.

Oops.. Unless now you're counting yes as double, it looks overwhelmingly bad for you.. You know what? Maybe there is a secret button that says "Yes, but I don't want anyone else to know I voted like that" and that got 12 votes or something.. Naaaa, it's just overwhelmingly no.. (Neener, neener...)

Hey, glad something makes you happy!

I'm always happy. (Yusho winner...) :-( (In a state of confusion...)

Hey, I'm winning again! My turn to be happy! (Yusho winner...)

You probably got some friends from the SML to join so they could vote..

C'mon now, you know that I don't have any friends...

Yes, worst ever. This scandal has to do with what goes on inside the dohyo, not outside. So it is a difference in kind, not just in degree. THAT is why it is the worst ever. (And I want to add Taiho et al smuggling pistols into Japan for the yakuza on their way back from an overseas jungyo in the 1960s to the outside-the-dohyo list!)
