I've been an occasional fan of the official Japanese sumo basho for some three years, or ever since I figured out how to make my TV speak English when tuned to TV Japan (ie, NHK)- the english-language sumo commentary is pretty good. NHK being a particularly expensive premium channel here, I didn't subscribe to it all year long but only when wanting 15 days of sumo-fix- but now it seems that every time I want to go back the upcoming basho has been cancelled! I was aware of the betting-on-baseball scandal but now it seems like something else is rocking the industry. Since there are members either living in or nearby Japan, I'm hoping someone can shed Western light on what's happening. Anyone?
