Following the recent Rugby test between New Zealand and Italy, members of the All Blacks posed with a flag representing many Maori groups. Thing is, this flag is not official and groups with a political agenda often use it.
Is it appropriate for a national team, representing all New Zealanders, to fly the flag of interest groups promoting a political agenda, while at the same time ignoring the actual flag of the country they represent?
Personally, I think why not, so long as they're not being paid a penny by the NZ taxpayer. Well, turns out NZ Rugby gets a lot of money out of the taxpayers pocket, so how about we cut that funding off - completely. Make money the honest way, NZ Rugby, then try lecturing everyone about the politics you support.
