[sumo] Joe Perry Comment about Sumo

["Keri Sibley" <sibleykeri@qwest.net>]

I did a search at the American Way Magazine web site and found this!

Baseball is monumental in Japan. Have you ever been to a game there? Or to
any other sporting event?

PERRY: The sumo matches. They are definitely worth going to. It¹s amazing,
watching these guys go at it, especially if you go with somebody who knows a
little bit about it. If you ask the hotel concierge or the front desk,
they¹ll steer you in the right direction. Sumo has been going on for 1,500
years. It¹s their version of big-time wrestling, foot-ball, and baseball all
rolled into one. It¹s the only sport there that¹s totally, uniquely
Japanese. A sumo match will usually have maybe 2,000 or 3,000 people at it.
If you can¹t get tickets,- it¹s worth watching it on TV.

Merry Christmas
