Subject: Why you support AKIYAMA YOSHIHIRO as a sponsor ? (MMA fighter in Japan)
私は、K1の秋山選手(前柔道選手)を御社のコマーシャルに使うのは相応しくないと思っています。
I think that Akiyama is not suitable for your image, NIKE. Especially at TV commercial. Many Japanese think him as a dirty contender.
K-1は格闘技の一つとして、日本人に親しまれており、年最後の日に大々的なイベントがあります。
Akiyama is MMA fighter, he is a membership of K-1, Japanese famous promoter.
K-1 is very familiar to Japanese and they promote a big event on every year's end.
( FYI : TV audience rate is 19.9% in all Japan, 2006. )
その昨年度のイベントにおいて、秋山選手は、禁止されているクリームを体に塗布し、勝利を収めました。
今ではそのアンフェアな行動が公表され、勝利を剥奪されました。
この事件を機に、秋山選手が柔道時代に道着に不正していた疑惑も再びネットで広まっております。
On previous big event(on the end of the year 2006), Akiyama broke a rule.
He used a skin cream that contains vaseline and glycerin. In MMA, to use such thing is strictly prohibited. But supported by a checking miss of judgments, he won with the cream on his body.
But after the match, he was charged and lost the match on a foul.
He is a "Regular Offender", he often has done same things since he was not MMA fighter. ( He was JUDO fighter and changed to MMA).
He had been charged many times in his JUDO career at international match.
