Re: [sumo] Sumo and Soccer

Well, there is a lot of guff spoken about China by people who read the
propaganda (given out by other governments than the Chinese). So much
nonsense talked about China and Communism in the West!! I lived in China for
6 years and they are fine, lovely people, a pity that the taxi drivers spit
out of the taxi window and a few other small things like bird flu and SARS,
but they are normal fun-loving and mind-bended-by-the-ruling-elite folks
like most others in any Country!
Some of these crowd things are actually sponsored and staged by the g-ment.
Like the crowds outside the US Embassy after the accidental bombing of a
Chinese Embassy a few years ago. I doubt this sport thing was staged.
However... On ne sais jamais!
Most of the Chinese sumo fans are in touch with their feminine side...! No
probs there.
Football (soccer) does have a stupid element for sure..."lads together
mindless drinkers out of touch with their feminine side"!!...
By the way, as an extra input to the thread...I'm sure Beckham is on the way
down now...But don't expect Rooney to be England captain just yet!!
Boltono.
