I just found this story interesting and thought I'd share.

Sumo scandal widens, wrestlers admit match fixing - KATV Channel 7 - The Spirit of Arkansas:

I remember reading about this in the book Freakonomics. Crazy stuff.

Two things:

1) Sumo being fixed is a huge open secret, and not surprising to anyone who follows the sport (does anyone REALLY think Kotooshu just forgot how to wrestle midway through a match during his second straight dominating tournament and never got his mojo back?)...

2) When I need sumo news, I always look to local Arkansas TV first.

For the record, once Billy Jeff made it to the Oval Office the rest of the world plugged into the Arkansas Media machine. And in so doing we began fishing out exclusive media coverage rights, I think it was a sub-by law of NAFTA. Anyway in the end we landed the Sumo Beat and now the entire planet does indeed turn to the Natural State for the latest earth shaking headlines that are generated from the world of the Sumo.

We also are proud of our exclusive dibs on Mediterranian Midget Wrestling and Moisturizing Reports. When you need to know about well oiled little people, come to us first! I think we may even change the state motto to reflect that fact.

We truly are quite Cosmopolitan.
