I 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!

This is literally the point of an offensive line already, you think those boys can’t sumo wrestle?

Not to mention many of them are easily as big as the sumo wrestlers.

Because they’re also fast.

Something about someone the size of a fridge being able to outrun most amateur athletes can be a little unsettling for sure.

Sumo 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.

I 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.

After the first play they’re completely exhausted and unable to continue.
Sumo wrestlers are good at sumo wrestling. Those are matches that last between 2 and 30 seconds, after which the wrestler gets about an hour to rest.

That is what the offensive line is now and they can’t grab anyone to throw them aside because that would be holding.
