For now I will blame Hispanic Rights Activists
Why do you hate Freedom?
The US is marching backward to the values of Michael Stivic.
Re: Puerto Rico beats US in men's basketball
Puerto Rico is a US commonwealth. Most US commonwealth's have their own basketball (and other) teams. I believe commonwealth atheletes are also allowed to compete on US teams if their commonwealth doesn't have a team.
Re: Puerto Rico beats US in men's basketball
Yes but why does it have it's own OLYMPIC team?

Re: Puerto Rico beats US in men's basketball
Mostly because the IOC (International Olympic Committee) decided that they were a sovereign entity, despite their relationship with the US - similar (tho' less so) to Guam & American Samoa, which also have teams.
But I will grant you: the US relationship with PR seems to change about every 5-6 years. So far, every time they have a referendum on independence, it gets voted down (by them).
To get back on-topic, Puerto Rico (and the Dominican Republic) are major sources of athletes for many US professional sports, noteably baseball, basketball, and (gasp!) soccer.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Imagine the Rugby team....
"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."
