The grace is a lie.

BBC is reporting that the Japan Sumo Association will be distributing iPads to all of Japan’s training stables in an effort to improve communications between sumo leaders. Why? Phones and computers aren’t working too well for them.

“When they try to send e-mail on mobile phones or PCs they often end up pressing two or three keys at once,” said the daily Nikkan Sports.

And while that’s completely understandable, if worldwide obesity rates keep going up it won’t be just sumo wrestlers needing iPads for their regular communication needs.
