Two remarks: 1) The term
Golden Eagles was used in press to describe the rise of Nigerian Super
Eagles to winners. 2) Please note that the song might appear a little controversial
to you because of its military terms language used. The song cannot describe
the human being Rashidi Yekini it does not really know and who is said
to be really a nice guy. The idea of weapon metaphors originate in sport
reporting and used such as here it is questiong itself when the military
metapher for sports implies a sport meatpher for military actions as well.
Today this question seems very important again, when an attack on Irak
for most US-Americans is not much more than a game, a tv-thrill like a
football-match. This is a huge difference to what it means to people such
attacks are inflicted on (of course not Saddam Hussein was the gulf war
victim or loser but the people of Irak). But before there is a missunderstanding:
This is not the core of the song. It creates a field between the poles
of acoustic metaphors of the opponents fear and fans joy, enthusiasm and
exuberance. Herefor this was only a method. As said the song is from the
perspective of a fan seeing the action on the field involving a player
named this way not a characterisation of the person himself. |
