How so? Please explain. So its okay for Puerto Ricans to have pride, but Americans shouldn't?
In the basketball game, BOTH teams were American. You're comparison would have made sense if BOTH dancing teams were puerto rican. That is why your comparison fails. Chanting Boriqua isn't offensive to the Black dance team because it doesn't insinuate that they're not puerto rican, because as you say, they're black.
When the crowd started chanting USA, that insinuated that the other team were NOT Americans. THAT is why it was offensive, and THAT is why your comparison does not work.
