Because American Samoa is not a US state. American Samoa is a US territory and as such, it can participate like a separate country. Furthermore, do note that American Samoan's are defined as US nationals and note US citizens. Think of American Samoa as boarder-line between being a US state and an independent country. It is defined as an "unorganized" US Territory.
