And to top it all off, your home page is particularly inappropriate for an activity like FIRST. Is that the sort of public image that you want to have associated with your team? Perhaps more important, do they want that to be the impression that the public has of them?

Bingo.
That's why I use creative commons for all my stuff. If they hot link the image without giving me credit, modify it, etc... there's hell to pay.
