解雇 ― dismiss

野球賭博問題に揺れる相撲界ですが、本日NHKが名古屋場所の生中継をしないことで結論しました。

賭博に関与した力士と親方は解雇が決定されましたが、海外メディアでも大きく取り上げられています。


Japan's state broadcaster says it will not show the next sumo tournament live because of a gambling scandal that has engulfed the sport.

It is the first time NHK has not shown a tournament live in over 50 years.

The decision comes two days after sumo authorities dismissed a top wrestler and coach from the sport.

The two had admitted being involved in illegal betting on baseball - an alleged source of funding for Japan's "yakuza" gangsters.
