I hate to break it to you but FIRST is an International competition, yes most teams are from the US, but at every oppurtunity for the speakers to mention America, and how great America is, they did. That's fine, i accepted it since it was in the US, for some of it i agree completely. But not ONCE during the closing cerimonies was the fact that it is a international competition mentioned.
Someone mentioning America is perfectly fine, even for the majority of the time, but to completely ignore the rest of the world is counter-productive for this program. I find it funny how you think a solution to my complaint is to not go next time, well that's great, lets all be isolationists! Three chears for ignoring the Global Community!
