Please guys... we're not losing our sponsorship.
I appreciate th kind words but I think you are missing the gracious professionalism. We asked FIRST for an apology, and they denied us that. I feel more hurt that we didn't get an apology then anything else.
I just don't understand why they couldn't say the simple words, "We're sorry about the video issue, and we apologize if that may have jeopardized your chances in the finals."
If they said that I would be fine; but they did not. They showed me that they don't have any gracious professionalism at all.
You see, when a team flips another team, even a not-their-fault accidental situation, they go to that other team and say, "Hey I'm sorry man, I didn't do it on purpose." That member of that team has gracious professionalism.
When FIRST commits a major error they never take responsibility for it. Some of you may already know the murky situation that happened at kick off. Apparently during the human demonstration of the game the stacks were counted incorrectly, or not how they said they were in the rules. When asked to admit that the kickoff showed the incorrect method of scoring FIRST had no responce.
Anyway, all we wanted was for FIRST to gracious and professionally say that they apologize and we would have been fine. No apology means that they don't really care if this 5 year veteran team competes at all. It's just a very sad situation.
