@gt12 I guess the question is, how many of the Poua may have felt pressured to do the 'controversial' Haka despite thier political leanings, beliefs or apathy? Or was it blanket support/agreement from every single team member?

There's an HR complaint waiting to happen
~35 players, then you can throw in the support staff that have to work along side the team. Another 10-20 people?
~50 people and none of them voted for National, ACT, NZF? That seems unlikely. Sounds like a hostile work environment and a culture of bullying. Problematic. All bullshit terms.. but I can see the Canes management having more problems out of this

The thing about democracy is that the way it’s designed will ALWAYS leave some people pissed off. And a rule of it is that peaceful protest should always be allowed.
If the entire squad believe this, then so what?
Im bored of inclusivity, as in its raw form, it’s very little outside of reducing the numbers of straight white men in positions of pretty much so everything.
Hence the inclusive argument means nothing (to me, anyway).
So let them do it if they want, I say. People who disagree should vote with their feet.
