Bermudez Puerto Rican all of a sudden?

I see him using the Puerto Rico flag the same as if I were to use the flag of the state of Florida...or BJ Penn with the Hawaiian flag.. or Heath Herring walking out with a Texas flag.. Puerto Ricans are Americans, that's their territory.

There's nothing wrong with bring proud of ones German heritage. Anyone that would criticize a fighter of German descent for bringing a German flag with him is a fucking idiot. Now if he brought the third Reich flag with the swastikas.. different story.

So maybe a better example is Stipe. Pre Reebok days he rocked gear with the Croatian flag on it, but he's an American born in Ohio. I never saw or heard anyone pull the racism card against him.

Its because he's not brown.

A lot of fighters come out with Cali flags. 

Sure, and they were probably born and raised in California. Bermudez ws born and raised in NY.

Puerto Rico is essentially a State. Why would anyone march around with a flag from a State they weren't from or never lived in?

 

 

 

But who called Bermudez a "Puerto Rican-American"?

im from long island and my ex wife was born in America ( Brooklyn ) Nothing the matter with being proud of your heritage

So what? It's part of his family heritage and identity. My kids have never been to Poland either, no one cares if they wear a Polska t-shirt to school.

Why not?

WTF? Fili is Polynesian now?  Oh the horror. 

Same with Cain he American but get the mex flag 

Dude, who the fuck cares what flag he rocks?

If you want to rock another flag is fine, the issue here is tale of the tape says born and had a PR flag which is wrong. 

The lesnar tale tale of the tape didn’t say he was born there.
