Nothing. You have a responsibility to your team to provide the best experience possible, and if you don't believe FIRST of FIRST events are the way to do that in your community then you should be going elsewhere. I for one would never fault someone for doing what they believe is right for their community, even if I disagree.

I can't comment on the experience of FIRST Championships versus VEX Championships because I've never had a chance to go to the VEX Championships (though I hope to visit someday!), but I've never had a "bad" experience at a FIRST Championship-- I've had things that irritated me, annoyed me, or made me angry, but on the whole they tend to be very well run and put together.
