"No Thanks!"...Says Sumo Wrestlers

Don't worry!, I am proud to announce that Sumo wrestlers won't be making the switch to "pants", or what the Sumo's amateur association calls, spandex like those worn by bicyclers. The big argument is, should the sport change its long and proud tradition just to attract the younger interested crowd. The youth of Sumo wrestling say image is a big problem with the sport. They don't want to wear the diaper like outfits they wear now, because it is embarrassing, and in front of huge crowds at the stadium in Tokyo. Luckily for the public, Sumo Kyokai (Sumo spokesman) said. "We have no intention of allowing children in pants into the ring." What do you think about the switch to pants? Would the switch to pants hurt the tradition of the sport?
