in Islanders and Dynamo Taste Continental Success on Major League Soccer Talk
It was not my intention, but I'm glad for the reactions to my comment. Not because I agree with them (obviously, I don't), but because they show the complexity of the subject. This is the best we can hope from this format (comments to a blog).
The central argument in Kartik's "Final Thoughts" is based on a link between Dynamo and the Islanders that consists of them being both on the "american side", and Santos, Tauro and Cuba being on the other side. The debate raised by my comments show the flaw in that argument. Besides that, I find Kartik's statements about football excellent.

Kartik: I respectfully ask you to take us (Puerto Rico) out of the "American side". I am assuming that by "american" you mean US. If not, then the mexicans are as americans as we are and your statement would not make any sense. I attended the Islanders-Santos game and I didn't hear anyone cheering for "U.S.A.".

huricano Puerto Ricans have American passports, and most on the Island want it to remain that way. The mayor of Bayamón supports statehood, so do many of the supporters.
