That they are. I still find it weird that such a strange sport should have developed at all.
Tangentially, the Hawaiins and other islander peoples (Samoans, Tongans, etc..) seem to be genetically predisposed to be massive and obese.
They are consistenly top of the global lists for obesity.
@UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan I do not endorse obesity.
@UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan I am not impressed. Male sumo wrestlers are better than female sumo wrestlers at being fat.
