Everybody's hugging.
Say it ain’t so.
Sumo, the traditional Japanese wrestling sport first practiced as far back as 220 BCE, and marijuana, first smoked in a cross joint in the film Pineapple Express, are now inexplicably intertwined. In a shameful debacle that has the Sumo-loving public outraged, four wrestlers have been given their pink slips for toking up on the ganja in the last six months alone.
First, Michael Phelps (who has since lost endorsement deals) broke my heart when he decided to tamper with his new-found fame and success by hitting a bong at a party, and now I must somehow cope with the shame that Wakakirin has brought upon his noble sport.
Although Wakakirin was dismissed from the sport (a move many felt was too light-handed), he still has the possibility of collecting severance pay, which should buy a lot of Twinkies.
It has been a rough week for sports, indeed.
