EDIT: I suspect many long-standing FRC mentors will have this mentality too. Its about the kids. Not about their political battle with Queen's Park.
I expect this throughout veteran teams, for teachers who are truly "hooked" and passionate about the program. However, if this little conundrum doesn't go away easily, it could spell trouble for rookie teams in Ontario, at least ones with "rookie" teachers. (Rookies to FIRST, that is.)

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
