World Cup 2022: Smart and proud people have smart national team nick names
Posted: 17 Dec 2022, 23:31
Proud and sensible people have excellent National Team symbols and nick names. For example, Cameroon are the Indomitable Lions, South Africa are the Springbok, the Saudi Arabians are the Blue Falcons , the Moroccans are the Atlas Lions, ...
Think the idiocy in Eritrea, we call it the Red Sea Camels and you see the Arabian Camel. Is this retardation or some deep seated inferiority complex of its leaders? This is an utter national shame. For a proud and hardworking people with organized history, since the time of immemorial that we share with our Habesha cousins, this is an utter national shame. How can you name your national team after the Arabian Camel that the Saudis, Tunisians, Egyptians, Moroccans, Yemenis and for God's sake even the Arab servant Sudanese rejected, but is adopted as Eritrean?
It is my hope the Ethiopians may have a good and fitting name for their team, like a fierce lion, as in their famous national carrier, not the ugly blue star.
