American athlete under fire for carrying Mexican flag

[jtcs1981]

When have i insulted a country? I certainly dont think that saying pr is not a country is insulting is it?

Not insulting. I know PR is a colony of the states and I have no problem saying it. However, the motives every time you point that out are to stirr arguments that will end in Mexico owns you and all that bla bla bla that are not necessary. Which is stupid considering that latinos back up latinos every chance they have and will root for a latino before cheering for others. Pero alla tu y lo que te sea mas inteligente.

Hey hey made it that far and he still showed pride for Mexico. I got no problem with it. Nunca te olvides de donde vienes.

[DeadLikeMe]

I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this. No problem with it at all. Anyone in America should understand the close ties between Mexico and America. Nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage.

You Ricans need some pride.

[figzuki]

You Ricans need some pride.

I think thats the reasoning behind everybody's **** talking...

It's cuz we have TOO much pride.

[D-MiZe]

Well I hope you guys get your independence from the American ****s.

Puerto Ricans became U.S. citizens in 1917, and the United States Congress legislates many aspects of Puerto Rican life. However, the islanders may not vote in U.S. presidential elections.

Amazed.

the reason i said it was to take a little jab at huracan because he always talks about mexicans. i never intended to turn it into mexico owns puerto rico and its true i would root for a rican if they were fighting a non mexican like how i was rooting for cotto over floyd even though i knew it probably wouldnt happen

my favorite long distance runner of all time is ichim al gorouj from morocco his story is just amazing in 1996 he was in first place about to finish and he got passed at the last second in 2000 he was in first place about to win and he trips and falls a couple of feet from the finish line and then in 2004 in athens of all places he takes both the 5 thousand and 10 thousand and at the end of the 10 when he realizes he won two gold medals he looks at his coach and holds up two fingers
