Puerto Rican boxers are really Americans

Bute and Katsidis I understand, butt why Ward? (pun intended)

I think Ward's mother was British, although I have no idea if thats true or not.

Britain owns everything

On March 2, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones Act. With this law:

1. Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States ("organized but unincorporated,")
2. A bill of rights was created.
3. Separated the three governmental powers into: the legislative, executive and judicial branches.
4. United States granted Puerto Ricans U.S. statutory citizenship, which means that Puerto Ricans were granted citizenship by act of Congress, not by the Constitution and citizenship is therefore not guaranteed by it. (The Puerto Rican citizenship ceased, it was not until 1927 that it was reestablished for residency purposes only.)
As citizens, they were now allowed to join the army, only 300 rejected the citizenship and many others refused to join the army. During World War I, over 18,000 Puerto Ricans served.
5. Established that elections were to be celebrated every four years.
6. English is decreed the official language of Puerto Rico.
