ThAnK YOU FOR THAT STEVE. I am  in NYC working with the NBA at Madison
Square Garden and they told me the other day that the SUMO people were there
for a huge press conference the other day. I said it could not possibly be
the real sumo, or I would know about it. He said his understanding was that
it was the real thing and that the real guys were there.... But I called
someone in the sumo world and he told me it was amateur. Now I see the info
from the press conference and am  little annoyed that they are making this
sound like THE REAL THING when it is amateur. It is nice that they bring
attention to SUMO  but they should be honest about what they are promoting.
That is just my opinion. I would be interested in what other people think
after reading the press release.
