I think you're misunderstanding the letter. It was written to respectfully explain concerns over the execution of FIRST's business plan, not the seasons' challenges. You're certainly free to disagree. Respect, however is still one of those cornerstones of FIRST. (Right, guys?)
If you were curious, this letter was written last year by main-stays of organization, some of whom have been involved almost as long as you've been alive. They're Woodie Flowers Finalists and Winners, leaders on Chairman's teams and FIRST-affiliated organizations who've done more great things than most and helped 1,000s of students and 100s of teams succeed. Personally, I'd advise against writing it off so roughly.
