Marching Powder posted:it was directed at me, we both post in the rap thread, and it's recent news. there was no weird intent behind the post and probably doesn't deserve a strongly worded warning. None of these are reasons for that post to go in the Sumo thread and "Please don't do this anymore" is the least strongly worded warning I can think of, lets just pretend they accidentally posted in the wrong thread and move on.

Seems pretty reasonable, this is the thread for betting on how long tochinoshin's knee holds up. He looked strong yesterday  If you want to post about random stuff unrelated to the thread you're posting in, the f1 thread exists.

don't get me wrong if the people entrusted with curating the thread's posting culture think that the best way to foster a positive community is to rigidly impose a strict on-topic policy on single-post-long derails in a thread that sees single digit daily posts when 'active' then far be it from me to gainsay them. one man's reasonable response is another's hysterical and bizarre overreaction.

lol it's a parade. like at the start of the bashos where the competing sumo gather round the dohyo, lift their fancy dresses up briefly and do a wave. only instead of sumo there is weird losers, they're gathering around me, and instead of a dress-shake and wave they desperately try and get me to respect them

Shout out to the sumo fans hooked up to this thread and that thing from a clockwork orange that forces your eyes open. This will be my second time watching and I think I'll feel like I can do fantasy next time. Getting into sumo let me have a good time at a really awful party I went to at the start of the year. There was someone else who watched and wanted to talk sumo.

Enho with the win via yorikiri, that's the poo poo i do like. Also did we ever get a consensus on spoiler tags? i don't care either way since i usually watch live and when i don't i catch up before reading the thread, but if people need their kanye news without wanting to see sumo results i could see it

I’ve introduced sumo to a few friends and it’s mostly stuck. I do a nightly Youtube simul-watch with a bunch of friends and it’s always a blast! Hardest part is just waiting for everyone to be available and not peek ahead of time

I think once you can convince people that it's a real sport with real strategy they get hooked fast because the wrestlers are all really impressive athletes once you have an inkling of what's going on.

Understanding what's being done for ritual, why they throw salt, ect. has also really helped. Understanding how a match starts and the mind games they're playing makes things way more interesting.

I remember the first couple of matches I watched I thought the pre-match rituals would bore me to tears but yeah I grew to enjoy them as a very real part of the fight. I was watching one of Chris Sumo's youtube vids where he was reading an excerpt from Hakuho's autobiography in which he admits to losing to Asashōryū before they'd even made contact. Mind games are real. And devastating.

After starting to follow the bashos back in January(?) I've finally made it my mission to have at least something to remember each makuuchi rikishi by. Some are easy - Kotoyuki has a nice tan and a super mean mug, Takayasu can be sheared to make clothes, Chiyotairyu has amazing sideburns, Tochinoshin will carry you like a baby if he wants to - but I'll be damned if I can think of anything memorable about, say, Onosho or Sadanoumi.

Speaking of those mugshots, I feel bad that Enho has a black eye in his.

Alright, finally got a chance to watch sumo after a very hectic Sunday and busy workday today. Love seeing Asanoyama in top form, he looks strong and very composed. It's nice to have an ozeki in good shape. I'm also enjoying the strong fundamentals from Kotonowaka down at the bottom. I hope he's able to continue to develop, since he's a big guy and seems to have a nice low stance. Day 2 standings: code:This is pretty cool, they look like they're having fun

Caught up on yesterday and came to post this. Kid is far too young to have sumo this good. I can understand showing out at m18, but going 2-0 at m13 at 12 years of age is special.

The guy with the beard (Curtis Blaydes) fights at Heavyweight, the guy without a beard (Anthony Johnson, back to the camera) is now walking ariund at like 230 or so, but used to go as low as 170lbs and it still confuses all us MMA guys out how he could do that. He also fought for the UFC 205lb championship a few years ago.
