That was fast! The Haka is gone from Arizona football pregame festivities and traditions.
An Oregon State Beaver fan and friend of mine who is from New Zealand and Australia brought to my attention today that New Zealanders were furious with our Arizona football team for botching their sacred HAKA ceremonial chant. By the time I got to Twitter, Zack Rosenblatt had announced the Haka was no more at Arizona.
According to this, Arizona will no longer perform the Haka dance pre-game following a petition to end it https://t.co/x63VRBttzt
