Well, you may have heard by now the comments that Greg McMackin made during the Western Athletic Conference Media Day in Salt Lake City Utah. If not, Check this out. There is not much to say about it; it's simply very ignorant all the way. Anyways, I was very curious as to the dance Mr. McMackin was referring to. So I did a search in YouTube, and the dance might look something like this.
(You guys have to admit ,though, his name sounds like a very good McDonald food, "Yes, I want two McMackins and a large fries and a large drink please.")
Anyhow, the Haka is definitely one of the coolest and intimidating dances out there. The story behind it is also very cool.
According to Māori mythology, the sun god, Tama-nui-te-rā, had two wives, the Summer Maid, Hine-raumati, and the Winter Maid, Hine-takurua. Haka originated in the coming of Hine-raumati, whose presence on still, hot days was revealed in a quivering appearance in the air. This was the haka of Tāne-rore, the son of Hine-raumati and Tama-nui-te-rā.
Man, was that awesome or what? I personally liked it when their cold breathe puffed out when they shouted. It might as well have been fire coming out of their mouth because that was intimidating as hell.
