This was one of the headlines on NBC’s Olympics website:
Team USA trounced by tiny Puerto Rico
Americans outscored 28-7 in second quarter
Now…the U.S. Postal Service considers Puerto Rico to be domestic mail.
Puerto Rico has the same representation in Congress as the District of Columbia (though residents of Puerto Rico pay no federal income tax)
So…why doesn’t DC have its own Olympic team?
Maybe if we start training now, we can field one for 2008.
Go Team DC!
Two quick question about your new olympic team, what is going to be your national anthem and are you going to use the US flag or the DC one? ooh and if you do have one i want to be on the curling team for the 2010 winter olympics. 🙂
