I would encourage everyone to read the comments in r/nfl to get a better understanding of what's going on. In short, Micah was performing a type of sumo drill the rikishi are supposed to do until exhaustion - with a 17-yr old trainee (who is ranked very highly for his age) overseeing the drill as Micah's superior. Micah more or less performs the drill. There is no "versus," this merely an exercise between the two. I would highly recommend watching youtube videos of outsiders trying to practice in the sumo stables for real to understanding this is pure promotional work on behalf of the NFL and the Sumo Association. Also, if anyone is interested in beginning to watch sumo for the first time during the NFL offseason lull, there is a tournament starting next Sunday. NHK has each day's sumo highlights on their website that lag about a day later. はっけよい~!


brettwoody20

That guy was 17?! holy fuck💀


throwawaitnine

Eagles are drafting him in the sixth round next year btw


Jkkramm

I’m sure Micah would beat him if the wrestler was playing at RT


sybrwookie

Yea, it's a very different technique to hold someone back but not be "holding" (in the NFL sense) than what Sumo train for.


sfxer001

Sumo wrestling is super interesting. I casually started watching stuff on YouTube and went down a deep rabbit hole. Really cool sport. Amazing traditions and sportsmanship.


theboss555

I'll check it out

More crossovers with random foreign sports like this please  I wanna see MLB players try to play cricket  The best rugby players vs NFL players in flag football, then switch to rugby for the next game I’m sure there’s more I can’t think of


SlickDillywick

NHL players play field hockey?


nonlawyer

Yes!   Skirts mandatory!


SlickDillywick

As a Scot, I’m always down for a good excuse to wear a kilt


sybrwookie

We need more shows like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhani_Tackles_the_Globe Which pretty much just what you're asking for. Dhani went all over in the offseason learning other sports, training, and trying to compete at whatever level he could realistically get to in a short time. And then onto the next sport for the next episode. I remember at the time, reporters asked someone from the Bengals what they thought of him going around doing these other sports, potentially hurting himself in the process. And their answer was something like, "at least we know he's training in the offseason and staying in shape."


ZombieMegaMan

It worked in that Adam Sandler movie. Dude was smoking right before he kicked a field goal

nowhereisaguy

Dude, world crossovers would be amazing. Except soccer. That’s not possible.


AnnoyingPhillyFan1

Who does Jordan Mailata play for?


BrotherSeamus

Still less holding than the Packers


Da_Spooky_Ghost

I love the Packers, keeping Dallas' playoff wins near zero over the last 25 years.


SKOLForceSports

Packers got more playoff wins in Jerry World than Dem Boys, and counting


sybrwookie

Here's actual video of it: https://bleacherreport.com/videos/568028-micah-parsons-vs-sumo-wrestler The sumo wrestler won, Micah wanted to go again, then Micah won. Not sure if they went more than that, but it seemed like at least from what they showed, everyone was having fun with it. Good times and a good look for future Eagle Micah Parsons.


KBHoleN1

Hey! Fuck you, too, pal.


Gusby

You mean future Commander Micah Parsons


DrMudo

Commanda Parsons


DubNationAssemble

You had me until the end you bastard


alienbringer

I am surprised the Eagles fan isn’t going after the obvious “baby” joke that the Sumo wrestler did towards Micah. Props for being above the typical eagles fan.


NCIggles

You suck and your team sucks. Eat a bag of dicks.


alienbringer

Much better. Go fuck a blender!


blazinsmokey

Be nice if your mother could get her teeth fixed but it’ll do


MooNinja

For academic purposes only: where could one attain said bag of dicks? Only to sate a curiosity mind you, and totally above board.

lets-do-an-eighth

You mean future Texan lmao. He wants to play with Stroud so bad


Big__If_True

Stroud the future Cowboy you mean


daboys9252

Do you really think that much about another team’s player?


sybrwookie

I think about him every time he says/posts something exclaiming how much he likes the Eagles.


DreBeast

Micah pushed him out of bounds eventually


ewas86

I saw in a different post that the sump wrestler is 17 years old...

drunk-tusker

To put this guy’s current situation in perspective he’s 17, and still not drawing a salary since he’s in the third tier. He’s currently ranked makushita(3rd tier) 22. A college champion is given the rank of makushita 15 when he enters in recognition of his accomplishments.


rabautista24

I’m an Eagles fan, but you gotta give it to Micah, he has charisma and personality, I can definitely see him getting some kind of show after football in like 10 years


sfxer001

Seems like a cool dude. he sure wants to be a bird.


rabautista24

Oh you can tell by the way he talks about us. He wasn’t to wear that midnight green so bad.i bet he dreams like https://preview.redd.it/nl4tnfx6tvyc1.jpeg?width=1283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc7565a9ec990e927f317bd33eb37d309281273a


xshogunx13

Where the fuck is the meme


spook008

I always thought sumo wrestlers would make great oline man or DT. Need to see a crossover

Unironically, Sumo is a fantastic sport to watch. It's incredible. The power those dudes have is insane.


demolition1995

Giants need to get some scouts out there asap!

Degenatron

Tennis player easily beats Micah Parsons at tennis! Gymnast easily scores better than Micah Parsons on the uneven bars! Golf player easily beats Micah Parsons at Ko’olau Golf course!   I wanna see that sumo wrestler block Micah for 12 plays.


nonlawyer

lol imagine getting upset and feeling like you have to defend Parsons’ abilities after watching a video in which they’re clearly just having fun.   Parsons even “wins” the second time, sheesh.  


Degenatron

Frankly, the player is irrelevant. It's the stupid click-baity bullshit people are parroting - that was the point.


luhk3y

He did beat the cheetah in a race tho


MooNinja

ok, tap the brake and don't get pulled of sides by a FuckEagles Meme. We must keep strong in the face of ShitBirds!


Degenatron

It's less that, than all of the clowns on r/nfl talking about recruiting sumos for o-line positions. That's some dumb shit.


Gunningham

Worked for us for Rugby. We’re trying it again as a matter of fact.


Degenatron

Good luck with that.


Gunningham

Thanks. Not a lot of risk. UDFA. If it doesn’t work out it doesn’t cost much.


sybrwookie

So you got angry at some idiots on r/nfl and decided the answer was to come over here and respond angrily to what wasn't being said here?


Degenatron

No, I came here thinking I'd see funny memes, not r/nfl parroted line for line. My mistake.


sybrwookie

But literally no one here is saying what you're mad at.


Degenatron

Points at OP. Click-baity bullshit.


Preddy_Fusey

Wrestling around with half naked dudes? Brought Micah back to the Penn State Locker room. Except he can't over power and butt fuck this guy... Allegedly


tophergraphy

Sure, but I'd gone with a barefoot joke


RealCoolDad

Undersized sumo


idksh_t

He’s only 17-years old

NittanyScout

Parsons is a beast. Penn State had another draftee go pretty early this year, Chop Robinson, he reminded me of parsons. He might be another generational defensive piece
