Heck, I'm not them and I'll probably still be angry. This post gives a very personal view into what these teams had to go through this season. Why should they forgive this individual? I think there would be a problem if these teams were not still angry after some time has passed (say 4 years?). I have no problem with teams holding a grudge after putting in hundreds of hours, dollars, and heartache into their teams, and that is only for this season alone. Multiply by how many years each team member has been involved with their team, and you get the magic number of how angry each and every one of them should be should be. |
No, no, no. I'm sorry for any ambiguity in my previous post. I meant it would be wrong for the victims to be mad at the
associated team, not the individual him/herself. After four years of time to numb the pain slightly, I would expect reasonable people, like FIRSTers, to have cleared their vision and then be able to see that the associated team itself is not (we hope) the bad guy. The rest of that team could be, in a roundabout way, like victims themselves, because of the horrible publicity potentially brought down upon them by the community at large.
I hope that hailstorm doesn't come to them.
To what you did say, of course they will be mad, and justified in being so.
