So they're "playing nice" for now. Good - they need to exercise control. Which YT channel is it on? Sounds like something I need to watch at least once or twice.

To watch it live, starts May 10th, look up Leo Dickenson sumo. For highlights in English, once the basho starts, NHK World on YouTube has it. There are a handful of people who discuss stuff in between tournaments like ChrisSumo.

Thanks - I'm going to check it out! Friends are having a Kentucky Derby party this weekend (?), so maybe I'll reciprocate with a Sumo party!

When it gets closer to the basho, I'll try to remember to do a post with a bunch of stuff to look at. There are some great channels out there with basic info and it's a super simple sport to get into. Loser is the one who gets pushed out of the ring or anything other than the bottom of the feet touch the ground. I find watching it live (or at least a full division of matches) is a lot more fun than just the highlights. You get to see the ceremony of it.
