Look, I’m all for equal rights. I really am. I hate the WNBA not because of the women athletes, I hate it because David Stern keeps trying to force it down our throats. But when it comes to women in Sumo wrestling, we really have to draw the line. You know that old joke about there are ten things men shouldn’t do and cheerleadling in 9 of them? Well, the same holds for women and Sumo wrestling. I don’t want to think about 300 pound women in little outfits shoving each other around.
However, not even allowing the female governor of Osaka to step on the mound to present the prize is a bit much. This is a sport where the athletes can’t even wipe their own ass, I’m not sure how “impure” a woman can be in the ring. Well, aside from the WWE that is.
