It’s one of the most exciting times of the year in New York City. This Sunday, Puerto Ricans from far and wide will come together to celebrate their culture and people in the yearly Puerto Rican day parade. As a Puerto Rican myself, I can tell you for sure that the island and Nuyoricans (Puerto Ricans living in New York) are moved by two sports: baseball and boxing. It runs in our blood. It brings our people together like nothing else. We back our legends like Roberto Clemente and Tito Trinidad as if they are gods.
These aren’t the only people we adore though.
