My first haka dance was 20 years ago. In a student conference, two over enthusiatic Blacks danced for a semi-tipsy crowd. Gosh, they scared me! I guess they were getting ready for battle with the beers and the slutty girls later that nigth. They scored big time. Believe me.
All blacks are pure legend. Even for people like me that will never really get that sport called rugby. And their name runs parallel to honor, proudness and over performance.
That kept me thinking. What would happen in other countries if you name any team, club, asociacion or school "All Blacks"? Words like getto, fabelas, discrimitation, poverty and so on come to my mind. Its nice to see that one of the last countries to be colonized by the "all whites" has managed to keep their integrity. Are we making things better with the years or is just that the fierce Maories (well done Weepu) never gave up?
I want to think that was more the first than the second , which means we learn from mistakes. Eventhough I still get scared when I see the warriors dancing in shorts.
