Itai on CNN



Just sitting here late at work, ready to go home, CNN is on, and lo and
behold "... and now we go to sumo" says the man.

Sure enough it's from a press conference by Itai, saying that there was no
other sport in the world in his time, that would include so much fixing. He
stipulated that 80 percent of matches were fixed.

The whole report really made sumo look bad, think this is really hurting
sumo's image. It was shocking to see it on CNN.

in the countries through which he had passed, there has remained a legend
that the devil himself passed through..."
