Haka: traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge from the Māori people of New Zealand. The haka is IN, the Tebow is OUT. Go figure.

I LOVE it when American minorities finally GET that they are NOT the only culturally unique group on earth!

Yeah, I suggest you go tell a New Zealander that.
Warning, the Kiwis, white and Maori, are as tough as nails. I’ll send some flowers to your hospital bed.

I beg to differ, this has cultrual significance whereas rap has none.

Why would a team want to make an exhibition of themselves?

Its a war chant, a tradition. Its part of their history.
Its no exhibition.

NZ is a minor basketball nation, the US is primo. NZ for example would murder the US at rugby, where the haka is most famous.
The result dosent matter, its a proud part of their culture.
We Scots still play the bagpipes at soccer and rugby matches, even if we are getting beaten. (actually our teams in both sports are pretty good at the moment).
