I guess I always tend to defend the underdog - for long I did that for Asashoryu but he is no longer in the position of underdog, though still not an overwhelming favorite among casual fans. ..... Whether it is an act by the yokozuna or not, things like this could legitimize the others' behavior. My point is that there are so many other ways to stimulate Jyunyo ticket sales without victimizing (or pretending to victimize) certain rikishi. There is no need.
