Haka responses

Whatever. God... Can't they get Paul Kent and the rest of the Rugby League media to write the crossword or something during the off season instead of hamming up this shit.

So if you don't like their silly little fairy dance you are xenophobic.......that's a pretty stupid thing to say.

Not liking it is everyone's right.
Calling it a silly little fairy dance certainly is borderline xenophobic, not to say completely stupid, like your comment.

Port, I think that's a bit of a long bow.

My 2c, I love the haka, and I don't think we should be rushing them or anything. A bit of spectacle and drama never hurt anyone.
This official needs to just deal with it though. You can do the dance, but you don't get to tell others how to react.

Totally agree with what you're saying, and I don't have an issue with how the Aussies dealt with it.
However, while I'm sure it wasn't meant as racism... what would you call disrespecting and insulting a foreign and strange traditional challenge by calling it a "silly little fairy dance"?

Well there you go pulling out the race card despite your lame attempt of portraying as not. If I see it as ridiculous doesn't mean I am racist despite your leftist wankery. Pull your head in because your stupidity in calling someone with the latest inner city latte sipping cliche is pathetic.

I don't see it as being racist at all. In fact, it's probably more homophobic than racist.

Hmm, looks like I may have hit a nerve... :rolleyes:
Sorry I hurt your feelings mr. keyboard hero. A clueless one at that!

Please don't bother replying, I already gave you more attention than you deserve.

Well, it's both when you think about it.

Wow this discussion certain escalated quickly! Guys, particular Porty and Morty, I think we all need to take a step back and take deep breath as this could get out OF hand if keeps continuing the way it is.

Just a suggestion, if u two lads are going to the Aust v NZ game tomorrow, perhaps we could all meet up for bevvy or two and shake hands to put this all behind us?

Page or PM me if interested.
