Sure, let's do. Are you allowing females on to your team? If yes, you are offending a significant portion of some cultures. Are you allowing students to work on Saturdays? Again, same issue. Do you happen to believe and teach that science advances humanity, and that we should embrace scientific pursuit? Does this include issues like the age of the earth, or the theory of evolution? How about corporate sponsorships for your team, which might include companies who make weapons or use fracking techniques to get natural gas out of the ground? That offends some folks.
Look, I teach in an urban environment, and the last thing I want to do is put a stumbling block in the way of my students. Cuss words are not a stumbling block here. Maybe they are where your team is. Okay, sorry about that. But FIRST probably wants to reach urban kids, and this was speaking their language. So I'm down with it. Sorry you're not.
