minus-squareowenfromcanada@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI had a similar idea for american football. Recruit an offensive line entirely of ex-sumo wrestlers One holds the ball The rest form a protective ring around them They casually walk down the field Anyone who attempts to tackle them is thrown unceremoniously aside like trash Touchdown!
minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoThat is what the offensive line is now and they can’t grab anyone to throw them aside because that would be holding.
minus-squaremrmacduggan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoThis is literally the point of an offensive line already, you think those boys can’t sumo wrestle?
minus-squareOmgpwnies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoNot to mention many of them are easily as big as the sumo wrestlers.
minus-squaremrmacduggan@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoSumo guys attack and maneuver really fast too. It’s just when they hit the open field, the football dudes are going to have a much faster 40m time.

minus-squaresocsa@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI think you would be pretty shocked to see sumo champions next to NFL linemen. They weigh about the same, but the NFL players are 3-4 inches taller on average.

Because they’re also fast.
