It seems like the US has decided to officially recognise ki-o-rahi through a major physical education initiative in schools across your country called ¡¥Passport to Play¡¦.
Some 7,000,000 of your young minds will be exposed to a totally different cultural sports experience ¡V a healthy one!
So a strong Maori contributing factor to the evolution of rugby and therefore American football will be coming to a school near you soon! So to all of you who ridiculed and denied the benefits of ki-o-rahi, without wanting to listen & learn, with your heads firmly stuck in the sand of ignorance, contact your own education authorities and medical institutions who chose ki-o-rahi to help lift physical education levels in the US and help therefore to eradicate obesity and the negative American Football ideals of cheating/drug taking and false market strategies such as calling the American comp the (wait for it¡K) ¡¥World champs¡¦ when clearly only 1 country is involved!
Sports need to be CLEAN if you want a healthy and committed population, the RIGHT sports can change a nation and put them on the right track to recognising worldviews outside their own and treating others fairly and with respect ¡V SPORTS TRANSPORT CULTURAL VALUES! Hopefully the awesome values intrinsic within ki-o-rahi, and absent in American Football (under its present regime) and many of its followers (going by their insular comments in these posts), will help those Americans who choose to recognise the world outside their borders.
Perhaps your leaders will now take notice and treat the global warming phenomenon seriously and not ignore it, perhaps they will treat their illegal holding of prisoners (in you know where) with more humanitarianism, perhaps destructively globe trotting across the world causing mayhem and destruction in search of oil deposits/control will lessen (we all pray!)¡K.if you partake in sports where respect for the rules and each other is paramount it will eventually influence people in other areas of their lives ¡V including the political! By including ki-o-rahi into your education programme you have taken a big step for mankind.
Your country obviously does have thinkers and doers who are not closeted into blinkered views of the rest of the world and can appreciate the enormous benefits of introducing ki-o-rahi into your borders.
Why do you think your physical educators chose ki-o-rahi over all of our other traditional Maori games and the millions of traditional games worldwide?
¡Kjeez perhaps the game does transport all those benefits, socially and mentally that have been afore mentioned within this post and that your intelligent educationalists/medical experts have researched and unaminously approved..
Now will the detractors of the healthy oriented traditional Maori game KI-O-RAHI appear out of their closets or will they continue with their pantomime of the movie ¡¥Silence of the Lambs¡¦? ¡V because that¡¦s what they remind me of, meek lambs (followers of corrupt/unhealthy sports practices and values) unable to think critically or to comprehend a world where games are CLEAN and societally beneficial.
If Ki-o-Rahi can overcome the lethargy of the general US public, as epitomised by those who profess their lack of creativity and critical thinking as displayed hilariously in these posts, then it will quickly entice the intelligent sportspeople in your country, other sports will suffer a brain drain as a result. When your country is ready we can hold a true world championship with 100% more countries involved than your fictitious American Football world champs.
Children (especially US children!) are the hope and future of our world, let us hope their enthusiasm for ki-o-rahi can overcome the restrictive philosophies of your older entrenched stalwarts who profess that sports should use every marketing ploy to trick and subdue their publics and who continue to treat their players as expendable ¡V thereby role modelling societal dysfunction and destruction.
¡Koh yeah, nearly forgot, to those ostrich heads¡K.I TOLD YOU SO º
Kindest wishes and regards as always,
Taha
PS perhaps both codes could learn from each other. Ki-o-Rahi, as the source, the parent, behind open running and ball handling can reteach the child, the descendant ¡V American Football, healthy core values again and AF could introduce Ki-o-Rahi to the true caring and intelligent Americans who want a world of peace and caring and strong values. But I¡¦m sure there are many more ways that both codes could in combination help create a more caring world and exciting sports cultures.
