RE: [sumo] Sumo and Soccer

["Lon Howard" <itsulon@hotmail.com>]

I agree that an individual who likes both sports feels like the same person 
regardless of which sport they're at, but the audiences as a whole are 
certainly different.  Although both groups get "fortified,"  I've never 
heard of people getting trampled to death at a sumo venue.  Has that ever 
happened?
