Puerto Rican boxers are really Americans

[ßringer]

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?

Good luck with this one, son. I opened this can of worms a while back in a thread titled "Should Americans start claiming Puerto Rican fighters as well"? As you may guess, it didn't go over so well.

But hey, you'll get a ****load of responses and points. So it's all good.

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?

PRs dont need a passport to go to the DR, doesn that mean they are part of us?

We are part of the US, yes. But not the way you put it!!!!!!!

And not to0 be disrespectfull, most people here want to be independent as soon as possible!!!!!!!

People here need to get over all this racial ****. Seriously.

Do you realize how boring it would be around here then?

The United States Army brought boxing to PR. Doesn't that explain it?

I use to travel to PR with out Passport , but I'm think they changed the rules of traveling out of the main land since 9/11.

Nah, its crystal clear on Explore Puerto Rico commercails on ESPN, you dont need a passport (I do a lil research on the subject, ever since I was attacked by the government)

Independent? You my boy and all, but do you mean like "PIP independent" if so this isn't going to happen. I see PR becoming a state very soon.
