Chief Stipe Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 2 hours ago, curious said: Do you think the All Blacks should stop doing the haka pre=game in favour of say more expert commentary or interviews with coaches and players? Maybe they should stop doing the haka fullstop. It's original meaning has been lost and quite frankly after Peranara used it for his own political platform I couldn't give a stuff about it anymore. The National anthem is enough and far more inclusive of a multi-cultural (not bicultural) society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you more obviously didn't bother clicking the link to find out Paora's expertise. What are your credentials to be an expert on the haka? Right so what was the politics expressed on Saturday? What Sharples has said makes it even more inappropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Yeah what were politics? For that matter simply what was its purpose? I'm sure all the Asian visitors had their cameras filming the spectacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly appears to have created a political response here, including from the colonialist faction that is evidently alive and well in NZ racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
