Thats right! I said it! I'm a jock!! I'm proud of it too. I know that there are certain prejudices and even a slight hatred towards sports by some. But not to sound conceited, I'm a prime example of a "jock." I play many different Varsity sports...football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and lacrosse in the spring. Not to mention I've played hockey since I was 8 and baseball when I was 9. Amazing how I have time to be Captain of a Robotics team and play sports. But at the same time, I am also a devoted FIRST participant. FIRST isn't about labels, even though Woody trashed sports a couple times at Kickoff, he also stated that FIRST isn't primarily about robotics, its about people. So why can't we all just get along? jocks and geeks unite! lol I have a dream.... (and other such cliches). The TV notion that geeks are forever doomed to be tortured by jocks and athletes. That geeks are losers that wear tight clothing, suspenders, coke bottle glasses and have pocket protectors. And the jock stereotype of being a bully and having no intelligence. All things of the past.

Therefore, the point of this thread? I just wanted to try pick up girls. I wanted to let girls know that I'm an athlete and hopefully meet some cutie girls. lol no i'm JK, I'm just saying that FIRST is now so integrated and diverse with athletes and "nerds" that we are all one in the same. Theres no need for bashing sports, we're all friends here; bonded by a common interest- F.I.R.S.T.
