With all of the hubbub surrounding Team Puerto Rico for this year’s Motocross of Nations, we decided to do some research—okay, we just did a google search and used Wikipedia as our source—to see just how many territories the good ole U S of A actually controls, and then—because it was amusing to us—conducted a fantasy draft of riders and placed them on teams to represent each territory. Keep in mind folks, this is purely satire. Also, we realize some of these territories aren’t even inhabited by people, but ehh they’re still U.S. territories. SEE YOU AT REDBUD!
