    No, Puerto Rico has its own sporting nation, they represent themselves at the Olympics as well.

    But some of them love their bull-fighting. :ARMS1:

    I'm not knocking it....I'm a fan.

    When I was at a bullfight in Mexico once, I thought it was in poor taste to see and hear an American couple cheer for the bull.

    It pissed off the locals too.

    Fascinating historical tradition maybe, but I find it hard to have respect for any contemporary sport where one half of the competitors are forced to compete and don't even have the intellectual capacity to understand what is going on. Especially considering it's a bloodsport.
