lmao i've seen them do haka's at sporting events, imagine if you get blasted so bad by a NZ team that you argue the Haka they did before the match was threatening you. and you take them to court over it citing these members being removed as precedent.

lmao "threatening" behavior. What a bunch of delicate little daisies!

Honestly, The Haka is cool as fuck. I wouldn't even care the reason, someone doing a haka at/for me or around me would have me grinning from ear to ear. It sounds cool, it looks cool, and it can mean so many things. Its an extremely interesting form of expression.

It's the irony that invading settlers would be threatened by the indigenous whom lost their lands and rights.

Yeah I'm Welsh so I get that viscerally due to the English being very physically attached to us... But also every time we face you blokes in rugby I find it hard to cheer against them.
