Puerto Rican boxers are really Americans

[Steak]

just to clarify, I because I see people not including PRans sometimes when they count the number of American fighters in the p4p lists and other similiar situations. I respect Puerto Rico, and am proud to say they are part of the USA.

Puerto Rico is part of America, and is 'subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignity'.

just because its a Commonwealth instead of a state doesnt mean its a seperate nation. the leader of Puerto Rico's government is the President of the United States, innit?

you know whos in the same exact position as Puerto Rico? The United States ****** Islands. They have their own Olympic team and everything too. but are you try to tell me the United States ****** Islands arent part of the United States?

Now youre wrong buddy. We are part and we are not part. We have our own olimpic teams( If Fact PR schooled the Dream team in the 2004 Olimpics), international teams, ect,ect,ect. This is more of a Asociated Republic than a Commonthwealth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have your own teams because we let you have your own teams. It is screwed up, but it is true. Puerto Rico is basically an American colony. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. Any freedom enjoyed, any aunotomy of government, is allowed by the US government. You're not independent and you're not a republic.

The United States ****** Islands also have an Olympic team, and theyre obviously part of the USA.

Tell me, if I want to travel from mainland America to Puerto Rico, do I need a passport?

Puerto Rico is being Americanized. Which is why they moved half the people to New York. Hopefully it doesnt turn into Hawaii, and PRs become Samonans. It is a commonwealth as of right now, but they will bring US citizens in, and vote to be partof the United States in the future, unless if America just really wanted PR prescense in New York.

We have the best of both worlds. I just wish that the my job paid as good as they do in the CONUS.

I agree! Hopefully we can keep our traditions and culture.
