Sports news in Japan

From the Mainichi Shinbun (Daily Newspaper)

"2 sumo wrestlers warned over lack of fighting spirit in bout"

The article goes on to explain that they were deemed to have been unintentionally lacking spirit, and therefore are only warned. The league retains the ability to punish them if they seem to be purposefully lacking spirit in the future. Things haven't ever escalated to that high a level before, though, so no need to be too concerned for these poor young men's careers.
