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.

Stupidest gimmick in sports.

The Haka isn't really embedded in the American culture...so why should it be more of a staple in American sports. It makes sense with Hawaii...and Euless Trinity. But why should teams without Samoans be wanting to do this?

The New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team has a 80% winning record for almost 200 years if games.
They are literally the most successful team in the history of any sport in the world.

Are you implying that their success is due to the haka?
If so, why does New Zealand get raped in every other sport?

I think a lot of pac 12 teams do. Very sure I saw Arizona do it before.

Wtf?
So let's bring random culture based traditions to our sports for no apparent reason?
What's next West Virginia fans trying to get us to burn couches, Michigan people wanting me to riot after big wins, and Pennsylvania people wanting us to harbor pedophiles?
Make it stooooppppppp!

Rugby is the only sport they really care about.

Plus, they are not the most successful team in the history of any sport.
USA Basketball Men's National Team is 117 - 7. That's a winning percentage of 94%.
Plus, nobody gives a wet shite about rugby. It's the same reason why China dominates in table tennis. They put a lot of energy towards a sport like table tennis that nobody else cares about.
