[sumo] Dreadful Commercialism of Sumo

[Jim Bitgood]

Has anyone else seen the inside back cover of the December 07 issue 
of "Runners World"?
There is a great full page picture of Konishiki taken from behind his 
opponent just before tachi-ai. It's an ad for Hyundai, curiously 
enough. I assume that Konishiki got paid for the use of his image. 
Wonder if the other guy got paid for image of the back of his mage???
It would be a really fantastic picture if it didn't have the 
advertising copy printed on it.
