The reason why New Zealanders and maori are so offended is because to us this ka Mate is sacred and comes with rules it is taught by elders it is performed in the face of your enemy before battle. Not reduced to some pop entertainment. You wish to support your Tongan mates they have the Sipi Tau Haka of there own in there own tongue. We do not appreciate our culture becoming a half time show
@fonrainka Yes I am fucking mad! Why? Because you think that this video is cool. It is a fucking disgusting example of the USA's constant need to prove cultural ignorance. You are claiming that it is Tongan. It is in no way related to Tonga you fucking ignorant cunt. There are no Maori people on this team. Do you know what t "Maori" means, or are you too lazy and ignorant to find out, thereby understanding why you are wrong?
That was so uncomfortable to watch. I feel sorry for that team. Too many Gridiron teams take Maori Haka and try to recreate them, then claim that they have islanders in their team so its all good. That would only be right if the teams had Maori people in their team. I have not yet found a team which performs a Haka, the Maori war challenge and has a Maori person in it. This team probably doesn't even know what they saying, and they sure as hell have no idea how to perform it. Just disgraceful.
@wattsyman HAHA! oh really? "This team probably doesn't even know what they saying, and they sure as hell have no idea how to perform it." thats funny your just basically telling me that the Tongans doesn't know the Haka?? lmfao and who are you?? you don't even know them; why are you judging? and sorry honey you just made yourself look like an idoit because I'm pretty sure that there are AT LEAST 6 of them who are Tongans. :) thank u very much!
@fonrainka Proves my point. They are performing a terribly bad rendition of "Ka Mate', a Maori Haka. You just said that they are Tongan, so why aren't they performing the Sipi Tau, the Tongan war dance? Tongans don't know the Haka, they know the Sipi Tau. I am judging because I have watched many videos of Gridiron teams trying to perform Maori war dances, when there are no Maori people in the team. The Haka has no relation to Tongans.
@fonrainka This is the pronunciation/translation of what they are attempting: Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!
Ka mate! ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!

@fonrainka You're trying to defend this insult to my country's culture by saying that they are Tongans. I'm telling you that that doesn't matter. That war challenge isn't Tongan, its Maori. There is a big difference. This performance is rather insulting because it is done to try and look cool for winning.
@fonrainka Watch "the best all blacks haka ever" (which this is apparently a video response to) and you'll see how a Maori Haka is supposed to be performed. Each one of the All Blacks shows more pride and emotion in the Haka than that entire gridiron team.
@wattsyman dudei understand that ur moari but jus so u kno theres no disrespect to ur race..but there are some polys on the team which is the tongans and i..the reason why we chose this because they all had a little knowledge about and i had to change it up a little so that it will b easier for them to memorize...so w/respect i am sorry for the misunderstanding pls accept apologies....i play for this school as a defensive end jus so u kno.

@siuannebby 1) I'm not Maori, i'm a proud white New Zealander 2) If they're Tongans, why don't they have knowledge about the Sipi Tau? That's what Tongans perform, its very different than what is performed here.
Also, i'm not singling this team out. That pointless excuse of "There are Tongans in our team, so it's alright" is used by every ignorantly arrogant gridiron team that attempts this. These performances are about copying one of the most successful sports teams in the world. Nothing more.
aye uhh so called "BMWdonkey" i bet u dnt even kno how to da the dance so stfu before stick the cup of tea and the fotball up ur ass n tell me how that feels. so stfu n enjoy watching or else watch something else.....BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
