Hmm...I wonder why there is not the same public uproar over Asashoryu
getting injured doing Mongolian sumo when he is supposed to be under
house arrest and is only in Mongolia to "heal", as there was when he
was playing soccer in Mongolia while supposedly injured?

I guess it's because there is no incriminating video footage to
saturate the airwaves with...or else because nobody really cares about
what he does anymore.
