Fotu should do this just before the team comes out of the tunnel each home game. I can see that firing up the crowd!

[@tokelausamoa]

Too bad war chant died. Illinois athletics have almost no identity these days.

[@TheStickCollector]

If we weren't so PC, maybe having this would boost morale and help us win more idk

[@UltimateDragon709]

I didn't know we had a Maori player lol

[@kleaguebba1362]

UltimateDragon709 I think he's from Tonga

[@chadhindsley5431]

Hey since everyone is getting offended nowadays and you are banning the war chant, you should probably take down this video...or you can stop being a bunch of wussies

[@ohiofisherofmen2194]

Offiallly the baddest thingnive ever seen eat your heart out all blacks

[@horacelynn6808]

See, this why we be getting our ass whooped. Do a war dance after you win something We ain’t won the Big Ten since I played 21 years ago C’mon shun

I find this video racially insensitive to the native Maori and am reporting this video to university officials so they can cave into liberal pressure. Better stick to the Capital I's. #PLAYFAIR #WINORLOSEDOYOURBEST #ROLLOVERILLINI

Im 100% Tongan! Born in the Kingdom of Tonga and learned how to the haha at a young age. The haha orginated from the native people of New Zealand (Maori) but every Island in the South Pacific: Tonga, Fiji, and Samoa have their own Haka. Make sure you do your own research before you post comments like this bud. #ReportThat #MateMaTonga #Haka #DoYourResearch #TruePolynesian #ProudOfMyCulture

Apparently Tongans don't understand sarcasm.

[@jo42pirate]

There is no sarcasm when it comes to that.

[@RollOnToVictory]

10/10 level Sarcasm, would mock again
