I agree that I was a bit too harsh. FIRST has done great things with the cards they have been dealt. Unfortunately, there are limits to the reach of a volunteer organization, but when FIRST strives to be on the same level as sports organizations, they should expect the same scrutiny held to established "sports" by the general public.
