The Haka gets me fired up. Wish we would see it more in American sports

I love the big guy on the yellow team just smiling at them. It seems that American athletes don't have the restraint that would keep them from throwing 'bows as soon as it escalated to this point.

They did it to our basketball team weeks ago. We laughed and beat them by 30

It's definitely cool to watch. However, I don't like that NZ is allowed to perform this intimidating war dance, and their opponents aren't allowed to respond. They get really upset and feel disrespected if the other team doesn't back down. They've intentionally injured players for "disrespecting" the Haka. Seriously, grow up.

Admittedly I'm not a rugby expert, but this is how it appears to me. I may be completely off base.
