  • If the hawaiians want to perform the haka & they've been given permission to do so, who are we to say they can't. However, if you are hawaiian & are taking ownership of the haka, then please have the respect & state where it orginated from "The Maori People of New Zealand". We do claim the hula as part of our culture, but I know many Maori who have performed the Hula. We do not claim the Hula as Maori, We all know where it originates from Hawaii. All we ask is the same respect back.

  • You yanks are so stupid, the Haka orginates from the Maori in New Zealand. They've been doing it for centuries and the "All Blacks" (you tube it) have the right to do it. You American football teams come along and start perfroming it in the last couple of years, without knowing its true meaning or cultrue. Big disrespcet to the Maori people...That racist and ignorant in itself.

  • @peksful that's not even a link you dumbass. NFL players OWN rugby wannabes. Plain and simple.

  • @ilovefrankandbeans LMFAO..watch this /watch?v=zgoOJd6-_gg

  • @peksful Haha you're all mad because you know i'm right. they aren't even allowed to stick in rugby. Trust me..the best athletes in rugby couldn't cut it in the NFL. Those players who don't make the NFL go on to play rugby because they aren't good enough for football. No one, and i mean absolutely no one in rugby can run a 4.2 40yd dash. Ndumkong Suh of the Detroit Lions weighs 310 pounds, runs a 4.96 40 yd dash, and bench presses 225 pounds (102 kg) 32 times. No rugby player can do that.

  • @ilovefrankandbeans take the pads off and you'll see their true colours..just like police without their badge....fucken pussies!!.."take the pads off! take the pads off!! take your fucken tampon pads off!!!!!"....watch the Rugby World Cup final and you'll never watch NFL again...NFL is only played in one country...while Rugby is played all over the world and even in America...remember, NFL originated from Rugby.

  • @peksful rugby players are a bunch of pussies. Athletically...they are no match against the best athletes in the NFL. The fastest guys in the NFL run the 40yd dash in 4.2 seconds...no one in rugby can ever dream of running that fast. Ndumkong Suh would steamroll every single rugby player

  • @Caardoor well i do agree with you, but i do agree with the refs call. there are some inappropriate gestures that are in the haka that go against the rules of the NCAA is what they claimed but i believe that hawaii can continue to do it but in a clean way. like i have noticed in alot of the haka videos that after the haka is done some of the players do that your dead gesture which is rude and against therules so thats why they got the penalty but if theyleave the crap likethat out theywould be g

  • hahahahahaha did I say I wasn't polynesian, and yeah I didn't know that the ha'a existed. Learn something new everyday. But with respect I will google the ha'a cos that sounds interesting. And I think it will be awesome to see it live. Much love

  • haka belongs on the real field....the rugby field!...make the haka look bad with the tampon paddings and the condom helmet

  • Ive never known a Maori to say that they are a polynesian. Polynesians are Samoans, tongans, raros etc. Maori are Maori. Every human being came from the same place yet we are different. I believe you have to be a true kiwi to be able to do the haka from the heart. I have watched a few of these vids and they are all the same to me...shit. If u want a true haka watch the haka flash mobs in Auckland NZ..Now thats a haka from the very warrior that lays within the Maori.

  • @Caardoor Maori,Hawaiian etc. WE'RE ALL POLYNESIAN!
