i mean, in the one sport native americans play, we have them play as their own national team.
but when the haka was started, there weren't maori in the all blacks. It's exactly the same as if Americans started doing a dance now. There's also the issue with which dance you choose because indigenous americans were not a monolithic group.w
the comparison isn't between american culture today and new zealand culture today, it's between american culture today and when the all blacks started doing the haka. That happened well before new zealand started to make their announcements
I'm not going to tell New Zealand to not do the haka, it's just really cringe for someone who comes to rugby later on in life.
1. duh
2. they were fined for crossing their own 10m line, which is the rule.
It's almost as if I used the words I used on purpose
and thats not true...you know we didn't have apartheid here aye...the first NZ national team toured NSW in 1884 and had two Maori players, Jack Taiaroa (Ngāi Tahu) and Joe Warbrick (Te Arawa)
and you must be must smarted then i, you've lost me on the Read not leading the Haka...you deliberately make a false comparison?
