i expect Hakuho to be out of sumo by the end of the year. it's getting worse and worse and the end game is clear. hakuho wanted to be bigger than sumo and he will be executed for it.Looking even worseLoading…

if you're going to close sumo stables for bullying, there would be zero sumo anymore.Outside of allowing Hokuseiho to strike, burn and abuse other rikishis' ballbags, what exactly did Hakuho do to anger the sumo brass so they're now trying to make an example out of him?

i'll defend hakuho the same way i defended asashoryu. there's a world over there that unless you are subservient to it, will just spit you out. hakuho, with 45 yusho, is a living humiliation to the local sumo potentates, and besides winning all that, he very vocally was coming for the leadership of the organization, perhaps for the very top. with the hakuho cup, with his mere presence, with having students that could one day be yokozuna, like hakuoho, he'd become an overbearing presence for the institutional world of sumo. uncancellable. and unacceptable.
so certain interested patiently waited for an occasion, and when the occasion appeared, they pounced with the highest level of possible institutional brutality.
i think hakuho's done.
sadly i think not being japanese is the biggest factor.Has Hakuho ever shown disrespect to the sumo boffins? Do you think it's just about him being Mongolian and that being unacceptable to sumo traditionalists? Again I have no strong opinion here and am just trying to understand the situation from more informed folks itt.
I'm not able to view this without logging into an account since Elon Musk ruined Twitter. What does it say?Looking even worseLoading…
