I don't think I have seen anyone making a big deal out of it. I might have said I don't understand it and it's tie to WV and that its slightly offensive to the Maori. However after researching into the subject I see that the Maori take pride in the fact that the Ka Mate War Chant is shared and remembered even though they lost in their uprising.

Usually things like this are steeped in traditions that are tied some element of local folk lore or history. This is neither of those. I have seen it used in Rugby by New Zealands team the All Blacks (great vid below). I only found it odd because I don't see the relationship to Knights or WV. The origin of it would be an interesting story.

Everyone has their rituals that people find strange, even Belfry. Coach Haywood describes one of these in his book.

The video wasn't posted to for any other reason than to show some Belfry fans what some of the sights they might see on Friday will be. As someone who can't travel 8+ hours weekly to watch the games these types of things are the only things that help set the atmosphere of the week.
