gender+issues+and+other+conflicts



=__**Conflicts**__ = Some of the conflicts in sumo wrestling include match fixing. In horse racing you place your bet on which horse you think has the best chance of winning. And the amount of money you get if you win depends on the odds of that horse winning. Well its the same thing in sumo wrestling. But some people will fix matches by changing the odds. This meaning you could say an undefeated wrestler could have a 1 to 20 chance of winning. Then you could bet 1$ and if he wins get 20$ back. But really the odds should have been 1 to 3 or so on.

Also a big issue is that women aren't even allowed to set foot in the wrestling circle. This has been an ancient tradition that some women don't like at all. Some women believe that they could be professional sumo wrestlers, and even beat some of the men. But most of the men disagree and think it would be bad to break an ancient tradition.
