[sumo] Reaction to Win?

[Charles Finberg]

I'm going have to watch it again.  I thought people were happy to have good
sumo, and good competition, which certainly wasn't limited to the yokuzuna.
There were some great bouts during the last several days.  But, I definitely
thought people favored Hakuho, and were subdued about Asa's win.

But don't forget, I'm the guy who saw the woman climb on the dohyo last
year.
