Being O/S I am just catching up with this incident and the debate.
Firstly the argument that it is part of his heritage is false. Heritage has to go back further than a handful of years to when a few kids made the whole thing up. I believe such a silly 'jig" was insulting to the cause of Aboriginal Heritage
Secondly the comparison to the Haka is ridiculous as well. The Haka is done to intimidate the opposition players as a whole - not a few spectators.
Thirdly -and I hesitate to say this for fear of being called racist - but at my first glance on a laptop my first impression reminded me of a chimp charge. Now please do not accuse me of racism. Find an appropriate clip and compare before you judge.
