Was this disrespectful?


Recommended Posts

Disrespectful maybe. Breaking the rules yes. When you run out onto the field a team can not go out onto the field, that is why the refs are on the field directing the teams to stay on the sidelines,  this team is way out on the field out past the hash marks. Disrespectful, maybe if this team would have stayed on the sideline and face their fans. Just my take on it!

Seems to be a cultural/tradition thing more than anything else . It also seems to be accepted and expected . No big deal ! Probably have to be a islander to fully understand , not a coon arse

so as long as it is "cultural/tradition thing" rules don't matter?

My view on it was Kahuku was scared and were trying to intimidate or cause a fight. The Haka is an ancient Maori war dance that many Polynesian countries have adopted to bring the team together. It is usually done during warmups towards the team's fans. Occasionally it is done towards the other team, but never during a coin toss. This was entirely disrespectful. They were lucky they won, because other wise the joke would be on them. That is my view. Real teams do not need to try to intimidate or start something, just let the scoreboard do the talking. This was classless and the coach should make every one of them run for the negative attention they caused the school and if he knew should be reprimanded.

Don't Eulise Trinity do this?  But I don't thi k they do this during the coin toss.  They do it as soon as they take the field, I believe....

Euless Trinity does the Haka after entering the stadium facing their crowd and after the handshake at the end of the game before leaving the field.  Win, loose, or draw.....

Trinity, Hawaii, a school in Oregon, BYU and New Zealand Rugby all perform the Haka. The Haka is not offensive by itself, but the way it was done was disrespectful. I believe it was BYU who did it towards Utah during warmups that started a scuffle. That was bad, but this was worse.

    • No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...
    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
