Quote about the haka

About how the haka can be done without penalty if the opposing team is not on the field, WAC commissioner Karl Benson said:
"It's a pretty simple issue. I've been pretty consistent in saying this isn't directed at Hawaii or the haka. I respect the cultural elements. But it has to be done in a manner that isn't offensive to the opponents." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Jones said the Warriors will continue their pregame performances. Senior linebacker Brad Kalilimoku and other players have developed a Hawaiian revision to the Maori haka. Kalilimoku said it might be unveiled Saturday."
