[sumo] Los Angeles "Grand Sumo Tournament" - see #3

[Lynn Matsuoka]

Nothing wrong with amateur sumo.

But there really are people out there whi do not know the  diference, and
real think that the amateur Sumo, as far as it can get from professional
sumo, IS the real thing. I saw it advertised in NY as the 'real thing'. I
talked to people at the event who realy thought they bought a $300 ticket 
to see the real thing and were NOT happy when they found out it was
NOT.... SO, just to make  sure.... I wanted to mention that.
