Then why doesn't he just keep his mouth shut and quit  complaining to the
media? By the way, his obnoxious behavior as a shinpan began before all of
this started.

Aw c'mon, when was anybody recently upheld the dignity of yokozuna after
they retired?  Musashimaru hasn't embarassed himself yet (other than the
slight embarassment of remaining single), but it took Akebono a few years to
find his groove, so just give him time.

Seriously, it's a family thing.  The reason we're hearing about this is
because it sells newspapers, but it's still his private life...far less
"embarassing" as a yokozuna than quitting the kyokai and becoming a complete
and public failure in other aspects of life.
