The condescending tone of the conclusion erases the fair historical analysis developed thorough the article. To think that "puertorriqueños" would only consider the existence or non-existence of an Olympic Team as the basis of such trascendental collective decision is to not know and understand the broad ideological discussion going on about the inability of the US Congress to even consider the statehood as solution the PR colonial status and the ways WE have to defeat the evil of dependency. It is a shame that such a great opportunity to explain the case to "Latino Studies" readers has been lost. The Puerto Rican case today is way more complex.
