Putting a spin on the Warriors
I’m rather bored of reading the by-now clichéd take on the Warriors as “the little islanders that think they could,” so I’ve been on the lookout for new, quirky or downright strange discussions of the T&T team.
Back in February I linked to a ‘human resources‘ perspective on the Warriors.
My latest discovery is from deadspin.com, a “sports gossip” website. On Friday they posted “Four Tiny Tidbits on Trinidad and Tobago”, featuring:
• 1. CONCACAF Rules! Wooo! (USA, Mexicol, Costa Rica and T&T are all in the CONCACAF zone)
• 2. Halt! Are You A Trinidadian or a Tobagonian? (a slight variation on the usual ‘tiny islands’ scene)
• 3. An Unscheduled Friendly, As They Say. (on Dwight Yorke)
• 4. Take That, Jamaica. (on our celebrations post Bahrain)
For the full read, vibes their website.
The post was amusing, but the comments were even better, although a couple of them did require imbibing a healthy dose of salt. An extract:
“So I hear Trinidad isn’t in Africa. Interesting.”
“Thank you for mentioning one of my all-time favorite names in sports, Stern John, which I always felt sounded like he was one of Robin Hood’s Merry Men.”
And my favourite:
“Oi! Oi! Oi!
Cuz I’m T.N.T., I’m DYNAMITE!
(T.N.T.) And I’ll win the fight!
(T.N.T.) I’m a power load!
(T.N.T.) Watch me explooooode!”
Good idea for a chant, methinks.
