    Puerto ricans are underrated in basketball, its enough to say they are one of only three teams in the world to have actually beaten Team USA using NBA players in Olympic basketball, the other ones being Argentina and Lithuania.


    Puerto Rico is the only country with a champion in every boxing division, 16 if you exclude John Ruiz.

    Don't know about Mexico, but it's a miracle if Puto Ricans are taller than 5"2 let alone be competitive in real sports like American football, not that homo ***** **** referred to as Futbol.

    Comically outrageous. American Football is the most controlled substance in sports (attested by the pandemonium that occurred with the referee replacements).

    American Football is the only sport of the four majors (Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Football) that you can be drafted without EVER having played the sport (at least in college). For example, Antonio Gates, Ray Seals, etc.

    Hell, Vince Papale -- "Invincible" -- simply walked onto the Eagles.

    Then you have LeBron James considering joining the Browns and the speculation of an NFL team signing Usain Bolt. Embarrassing. :patsch

    Does that happen with ANY other sport? Just with Bo Jackson and Sanders, why? Because they possessed tremendous athleticism. And when it comes to American Football -- that's all you need.

    I don't see Tom Brady, Adrien Peterson, considering playing in the NBA or even the MLS.
