Dissing da Haka
I'm getting a bit bored with this - if the English crowd want to sing "Sweet Low ... " and if Willie Mason wants to mouth off, let them and ignore them. Why should we EXPECT and/or DEMAND the RESPECT of others?
For mine, the greatest disrespect shown to our cultural war dance was when our skinny white swimmers attempted a version at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games while the Scottish winner of the race was being (or about to be) bagpiped by a fellow countryman in the crowd. Respect is a two-way street and is earned, not asked for.
