Kiwi Netballers mock Haka

[disco]

I hope these girls have cooked some eggs because when Ruchie & the boys get back from Europe they are gone give em some beans a huge serving of beans.

What complete disrespect they've shown for the nation of New Zealand sure we've seen Bronze medal hakas even out of time shopping mall hakas but a Koren gangnam style Haka is a new low I bet these girls even stayed standing during the opposition anthem.

As the greastest kiwi of them all says "shame shame shame".

Are you suggesting that the boys are going to partake in domestic violence? If so, that is low.

Can anyone else actually read disco's post?

Punctuation.

You know this post would be helped by some links....

I see what you mean disco, but I think some sections of NZ are getting super precious about the Haka. If someone takes the piss out of it in respect to Maori tradition, then it's not really okay, because that's culturally insensitive. But if someone takes the piss out of it in respect to the All Blacks, then that should be fine, because it's just a rugby team. New Zealand approaches everything with a sense of humour, why not this?

I don't think it's an attitude that is being solely driven by the ABs themselves (I think the 10m gap rule, for instance, is an IRB directive) but it's starting to make the entire thing a bit too serious. Refusing to do the Haka in Wales a few years back, for instance, really irked me.

It's more having a dig at the All Blacks supporters & NZ commentators that feel we all have to love & respect the haka, Which I used to enjoy until it got over precious & over done.

Biggest beat up ever!

Yeah that's it, I really want the All Blacks to fly home & physically assault these women for having a sense of humour.

Was it really anything to do with the haka or is that just how it's being reported? I can't see any level headed Kiwi taking offence to this. Or even putting it in the same category as the haka.

Edit: Sully beat me to it.

I'm assuming this post is sarcastic.....

 

[MajorlyRagerly]

I thought there was now moderation on starting of threads...

Thanks for clearing that up. The way you actually worded your opening post, one could be forgiven for being quite concerned.

Remember, sarcasm on the internet usually doesn't work well. Maybe an edit of your opening post is in order? Considering your opening post was deriding the women for this 'haka', I fail to see your sense of humor.

This thread started on the downward spiral, and I can't see it getting any better.

 

[Penguin]

I'm sorry I even opened the thread and even sorrier I watched the accompanying video. Minutes of my life wasted!

It wasn't a haka. It was never meant to be a haka. They were dancing. Just dancing. The England team even faced off in a dance battle.

Ridiculous proposition linking this to a Haka.

This is no different to the music played whan a batsman strides to the pitch in the Big Bash T20 games.

 

[spectator]

I'm with the last two comments. Just a bit of fun from the girls which everyone at the court seemed to enjoy...lighten up fullahs!

Actually Disco I thought this thread was started by you having a troll to try and pretend anyone would even think any kiwis would care about this, nothing to do with hakas, I think perhaps you may have to look at who is precious, and as Major said, sertainly makes a mockery the so called moderation of new threads. Mate if you are trying to start another tedious haka thread, PR have them everyday

Can I double like this?

Sorry, been away all weekend, back at work early today, just finished. I must agree this thread is of limited value in that the apparently intended point is easily missed, and the assumed other points are not really productive.
And so it ends.
