I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!
Awesome. I used to enjoy watching Sumo on UK channel 4 when I was a kid. Also Kabaddi was on a few times, that was pretty great as well. Us heathen westerners need more popular televised sports that are over in under 5 minutes. Dodgeball would do the trick.

Is there any media/public backlash against non-Japanese participants? I feel like such a traditional sport would have its fair share of assholes wailing about the "de-japanisation" of the sport, or whatever.
See the thing about "acting Mongolian" just a few posts back.

To be fair though, there was a Scottish guy back some nearly twenty years ago when UK channel 4 had occasional sumo wrestling, and that guy was loving useless, embarrassing to watch, so I can see some justification for taking that attitude.
