Keeping the Haka or not?

Rugby World Cup 2019: All Blacks haka called to be banned, New ...



Why is the haka allowed in haka
Part of the reason that the haka is so often talked about is because of the way other teams respond to it. It is a traditional war dance meant to show off Māori culture but also to intimidate the opposition - and some teams feel they shouldn't simply have to watch, but should be allowed to respond


Who is it traditional for and why?
The haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a fierce display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe's history.

my opinion about keeping the haka or not?
I think we should because the All blacks likes to represent New Zealand by doing the haka in front of are whole audience.
