    It looks pretty cool, and I think if every team had their own version it would be better received. Sports have always been drenched in masculine, tribal, war-like rituals. It's debatable whether or not the same practices should be used today as a spectacle. If it stays inside of that one environment, it would be more acceptable. But usually it seeps into the rest of society somehow.

    • If every team had their own one? No thanks. It's not cheerleading, it's an ancient Maori ritual.Mulatu
    • Nah, leave it to the All Blacks. Wouldn't work if every team had a pre-game ritualgoldieboy
    • Then it does become weird, especially if it's only one race doing it. People are going to have valid points against it.Jaline
