Controversy over the Haka

The media in the video above is portraying the Haka as an unnecessary pre-game intimidation method. They actually eliminate performing the Haka in football. New Zealand was the first sporting team to perform the Haka at a sporting event. They performed it as a tribute to their ancestors and for the spiritual meaning. Now other sports only use the Haka to instill fear into their opponents, which is wrong because it is ruining the meaning and can be taken as an insult to the ancestors who created it.
