    Great to see a group of middle aged white men chortling to themselves about a tradition of an indigenous people that this country colonised. Great look 👍🏼

    Every other country should be allowed to respond with their own national dance.

    England - Hokey Cokey 
    Ireland - Jig of some sort
    Scotland - that skipping up on their toes in kilts thing they do
    Wales - Vigorous side to side movement backed by It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones
    Spain - Macarena
    France - Cancan
    Argentina - Tango
    Australia - dance to anything by Kylie/Jason 

    etc.

    If I was an opponent I would just turn my back on it. It's supposed to intimidatary......cant intimidate if you dont take any notice of it. 
    It's also a means of determining which of their opponents are brave, respectful warriors and which are trembling cowards.  Turning your back on it would help make that decision far easier. 
    So the Haka trumps all. It shows them to be brave warriors and anyone who don't watch and respect it, is not a warrior and is a trembling coward. What about if the person turning their back fronts em and kicks the fuck out of the team one by one, once they finished pulling faces?

    Jesus wept, the original question was obviously asked purely in the rugby / sporting sense, does anyone find the Kiwis doing he Haka embarrassing etc. Now, cheers to the usual suspects its like it's an attack on Māori culture, which it clearly ain't.

    There's that saying again, "middle aged and white". It really is a crime.

    Dont get me started on this.  WTF.  WTAF.
    Iconic?  Culture?  who gives a flying fuck.  It shouldn't be allowed in the 21st century.

    Every time I see it on the tv, I get angry and want to throw the remote through the tv screen.
    Once their aka is finished, the kiwis should then be forced to stand there and watch something of the opposition's choosing to make it fair.
    On comes the physio with a tea tray and the England captain pours a cup of tea from a tea pot.  A single sugar cube, a double stir and a flick of the spoon to rid the excess tea and the teaspoon is laid to rest in its saucer.
    Lets have it.

    Lets be honest, rugby really is shit.
    Can you imagine Arsenal doing the Haka in front of Spurs?  Just maybe if they had their willies hanging out.  Football would never stand for this shit.

    Names means absolutely nothing mate. A person can be called Roger, but still identify as a treacle

    I like it. 

    I also like when teams have responded to it, walked up, ignored it, got Chabal to give them the stare, Wales when they refused to move afterwards etc. 

    Entertaining and creates a good buzz around the game.  Teams shouldn't have to stand there to be intimidated.

    cafcdave logic : Feel free to criticise and mock indigenous people's dances. But don't assume some one's gender on a predominately white male message board.

    Righto.

    I doubt they're angry.  I also doubt they are offended.   You've changed the context of the thread by assuming all those that didn't find the Haka as a necessary tradition (it was just their opinion rather than them demanding it be abolished) were white middle aged men.

    I'm not sure if you're just a troll or you just look for things to be offended by?

    Are you saying you can't mock a dance? Next you'll be telling us you can't mock religion.
